Brian Thames was added to the Women’s Soccer Staff at Ottawa University AZ as the Assistant Coach in January 2017.

Brian started his coaching career in 2009 when he became the Scottsdale Community College Assistant women’s soccer coach. For three years in that position he helped the team achieve a record of 47-13-2. In 2011 the team won the conference championship with an undefeated record and went on to take 3rd at the NJCAA National tournament.

In 2012 he was hired as the Head coach at Scottsdale Community College and immediately took the team back to the Conference Championship, only to fall short to the eventual National Champions that year. During his five year stint as the head coach his teams earned a record of 60-31-11, making him the winningest coach in program history.

Outside of college coaching, Brian has also earned two Arizona State Championships as a club coach at Ahwatukee Foothills Soccer Club and a 3rd place finish at the Region IV Tournament in 2014. Brian now coaches for Sereno Soccer Club and works
with the girls ECNL program.

Prior to coaching, he played college soccer for Point Loma Nazarene University where he holds the school’s all-time goal scoring record. During his time at Point Loma, Brian earned three years of All-Region honors and in 2009 was made an NAIA All-American.
