A new person is in charge of the women’s soccer team at the University of Lethbridge.

Cedric Bovon has been named the head coach of the program at Pronghorns Athletics.

He is currently the Girls’ Technical Director and League 1 Head Coach for the Calgary Blizzards Soccer Club. He has also spent time as an Assistant Coach for the Calgary Dinos Women’s Soccer Team and the Mount Royal University Cougars Women’s Soccer Program.

Bovon says his extensive background in coaching and player development, combined with a passion for fostering a positive team culture, positions him well to lead the Pronghorns and excel within Canada West.

“I am incredibly excited to assume this leadership role within the U SPORTS environment, particularly as it offers the chance to impact the team both on the pitch and individually,” says Bovon. “I am passionate about nurturing an environment where both team and individual growth are prioritized, empowering each player to reach their full potential, both in the game and for their professional futures.”
