PHOENIXVILLE, PA – University of Valley Forge is pleased to announce that Josiah Colegrove has been named Head Men's Soccer Coach, removing the interim tag after a historic first season leading the Patriots.

Colegrove, who joined UVF as Assistant Men's Soccer Coach in 2021, took over the interim head coaching role and immediately made his mark on the program. In his first year at the helm, he guided the Patriots to their first-ever United East Conference playoff appearance in UVF Men's Soccer history, marking a milestone achievement for the program.

"We are confident that this program is on the rise, and we believe Coach Josiah is the right person to continue building on the foundation that has already been established," said Athletic Director Gretchen LeVan. "His passion for developing student-athletes both on and off the field aligns perfectly with our vision for UVF soccer."

Prior to his interim appointment, Colegrove spent multiple seasons as assistant coach under Stephen Bower, where he was instrumental in recruiting, tactical analysis, and managing game-day operations. His coaching experience extends beyond the collegiate level, having served as Head Coach at Windsor Christian Academy, where he led the team to a championship in their inaugural season with a 10-1 record. He currently also serves as Head Coach for the Phoenixville Area Soccer Club.

Notable Coaching Certifications:
