Graham Ford is in his 13th season as head men's soccer coach at The College of Wooster, and now appears to have Wooster on course to being one of the top teams in the Great Lakes Region year-in and year-out. The Scots have won more than 75 percent of their matches the last four seasons (59-14-12; .765), giving Ford a career record of 115-72-23 (.602).

Highlighting his tenure at Wooster, where he also served as an assistant coach for four years before taking over in 1995, the Scots went unbeaten during the regular season in 2002 (15-0-3) and were ranked as high as No. 2 in NCAA Div. III, followed by back-to-back North Coast Athletic Conference co-championships (2003, 2004). Ford was the 2003 NCAC Coach of the Year.

Active in the youth soccer community, Ford is co-director of Pennine United, based out of Lodi, Ohio, after formerly working with the Cleveland United and Ohio Premier clubs. Additionally, he is an Olympic Development State Team coach for Ohio North, an NSCAA advanced licensed coach, a USSF staff clinician, and the director of the Wooster Soccer Academy (one-week summer camp).

A 1989 graduate of the University of Staffordshire in England, Ford earned a degree in sports management and exercise physiology. He was a player and a coach for six years in England’s top semi-professional league and the director of the F.A. Coaching Center in Manchester from 1986-89.
