Fort Wayne United is excited to announce the coaching staff for the 2018 FW United Gryphons F.C. season!

The Gryphons are excited to have put together an amazing coaching staff for the 2018 season, led by head coach David Bokhart and assistants Aaron Tulloch and Claire Ward.

Bokhart is the current head coach at Indiana Tech and has over 15 years of coaching experience. He is a former head coach for St. Joseph's College, and prior to coaching at St. Joseph's he was an assistant at the University of St. Francis. 

Tulloch, originally from London, England, holds a USSF National "C" Coaching License, as well as a UEFA Level 1 License. He was selected for the 1st non-professional Academy in England, where he received soccer education from premier league and national team professional staff. He came to the United States where he played Division 1 college soccer at IPFW.

Ward, originally from Ayr, Scotland, has a USSF National "C" Coaching License also. She was an assistant coach at Murray State University from 2008-2013. She was also the head coach of KY ODP from 2010-2013 and the Kentucky Revolution from 2006-2013.

"We are thrilled to be able to put together a staff with such a strong coaching and playing background", said Gryphons owner Bobby Poursanidis. "We had an excellent first year, missing the playoffs by only a few points and we are very excited for the 2018 season so we can offer our players the opportunity to play against some of the best competition regionally and nationally."

Open tryouts for the Gryphons will take place on May 11th from 5-6:30pm at Indiana Tech. Players trying out are asked to pre-register at www.fwunitedfc.com/uws.
