Former George Fox University player Jim Maine returns for a sixth season of college coaching at his alma mater, serving as an assistant men's soccer coach with primary responsibilities for the defense.

Maine joined the George Fox staff after seven years at the boys' soccer coach at Newberg High School, where he led the Tigers to playoff berths four times from 1995-2002. He was named the Pac-7 Conference Coach of the Year in 1997 and the Pac-8 Coach of the Year in 1999.

A native of Yakima, Wash., Maine was a two-time MVP, team captain, and First Team All-League selection at Eisenhower High School. After a year at Spokane Community College, he played for George Fox from 1992-94, starting every year as a flanker. He also played four seasons of professional soccer with the Yakima Reds of the USISL in 1995, the Cascade Surge of the USISL in 1997-98, and the Portland Pythons indoor soccer team in 1999.

Earning his bachelor's degree from George Fox in elementary education in 1995, he served as a substitute teacher in school systems in Newberg, Hillsboro, and Beaverton for several years. He spent the 1999-2000 year at Yamhill Middle School, and is now entering his seventh year as a sixth-grade teacher at Carlton Elementary.

Maine and his wife Melissa reside in Beaverton.
