The Valley Forge Military Academy & College administration is pleased to name Paul Noon as the new Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA) head varsity football coach.

Paul was born in Pottsville, Pa and attended high school at Nativity B.V.M, where he was a four-year starter, earning numerous academic and athletic accolades including their scholar-athlete award. Paul earned his undergraduate degree from Susquehanna University in 2007 while starting for their football team for three years and again being recognized for his academic and athletic accomplishments. After his playing days at Susquehanna, Paul pursued his Master’s Degree in Secondary School Counseling at the University of Scranton completing his coursework in 2009.

“Paul will be an asset both academically and athletically to the cadets at Valley Forge Military Academy,” said Rich Casey, Director of Athletics for VFMA&C. “We look forward to a great future with him as the new head football coach.”

Paul started coaching football at Edward Bok Technical School in Philadelphia, Pa. During his tenure he coached the offensive and defensive lines. They won consecutive division titles, and competed in the state playoffs in 2009 and 2010. In 2011, Paul was hired as the head coach at West Philadelphia High School where he turned around a struggling program. In 2009, he led West to the most wins (11) in their 100 year school history while winning the AAA Philadelphia Public League Title. They also had the least points per game allowed (6.4) in the state of Pennsylvania in 2009.

“I am excited to start a new winning tradition at VFMA that the cadets, faculty, and alumni will be proud of,” expressed Noon. “I look forward to developing these young men into respected leaders in this society by the lessons taught through football and the values and education one can only receive at Valley Forge.”

VFMA will open their 2013 varsity football season at home against Morrisville High School on August 30 with a 3PM kickoff.

Coach Noon also will be a full-time guidance counselor at Valley Forge Military Academy. Paul resides with his wife, Mary, in Bryn Mawr. Pa.
