Arcadia University in Glenside is looking to hire a Head Men’s Wrestling Coach and a Head Women’s Wrestling Coach to head up their new programs.

The University announced the addition of wrestling teams in July, both of which are expected to begin competition in the fall of 2025.

Arcadia’s men’s wrestling is the 21st Division III program in Pennsylvania while the women’s program will become the seventh.

Arcadia plans to convert the existing 8,500-square-foot gymnasium at 125 Royal Avenue, site of the former Bishop McDevitt High School, into a practice facility that will include approximately 5,000-square-feet of mat space to go along with cardio equipment and related training equipment. There will be an adjacent 1,500-square-foot weight room as well as locker rooms, coaching offices, and an athletic training room on-site.

With the addition, Arcadia University will increase its offerings to sponsor 28 sports (14 women, 13 men, one co-ed) beginning in the 2025-26 academic year, including the recent additions of esports (2019), women’s and men’s indoor and outdoor track and field (2019), and women’s and men’s ice hockey (2021). Arcadia captured two MAC Freedom championships last year in men’s basketball and baseball.
