Jared Cipriano

Jared Cipriano returns to Norwich after being named the new Cadets Head Coach for the Women’s Soccer program. “My family and I are excited to come back home to Vermont and be part of Norwich University again,” said Coach Cipriano.


Jared, a Vermont native, graduated from Elmira College where he was an All-Conference performer on the field. Cipriano then went on to earn a Master’s Degree in Athletic Leadership from Castleton University. During his career, he has successfully worked with student-athletes at all levels. He has been the head coach of the Vermont Olympic Development Program since 2016 and Far Post Soccer Club since 2014. At the collegiate level, he has been a member of the Saint Michael’s College, University of Vermont, and Norwich University staffs. While an assistant with the men’s program at the University of Vermont, he helped the Catamounts become the America East Regular Season Co-Champions in 2019. During his tenure at Saint Michael’s College, Cipriano helped produce three New England Women’s Intercollegiate Soccer Association (NEWISA) Senior Bowl selections.


Cipriano’s coaching career began when he was a camp counselor at Camp Sklemar in 2012 where he worked with campers ranging in ages from 6 to 16. He gained more leadership experience as the lead camp counselor for two summers at Mount Snow in Dover, Vermont. From 2014-18, he was an instructor and team leader for children with autism and other behavioral needs at the Mosaic Learning Center in South Burlington.


He has continued to progressively advance his knowledge of the game while earning a United Soccer Coaches (USC) Level 2 GK Diploma, United Soccer Coaches National Diploma, and U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) C License.


“I look forward to creating an environment where student-athletes are driven to succeed and thrive, both on and off the field,” explained Coach Cipriano. “I’m eager to build upon the current program and work towards achieving new heights in the seasons to come.” Jared and his wife Sarah welcomed the newest member of the Cipriano family with the recent birth of their first child, Walker.
