Michael Voss is beginning his first season as the head coach of the women's
soccer program. Voss will also direct the intramural programs for the Grace

jungle of Belize, Central America. While there, Voss taught discipleship and
evangelism through soccer. He was also the head coach for the Toledo United
Professional Futbol Club. The United competed in the BPFL, fighting for a CONCACAF
Champions Cup bid.
Prior to the mission field in Central America, Voss worked at the Calvary Chapel
Christian Schools in Murrieta, California. From 1996-2005 he was the Athletic
Director while being the director of soccer and the head girls soccer coach
from 1997-2006. During this time Coach Voss started the soccer program from
scratch and compiling a record of 102-51-17.
From 2004-06 Voss was the head women's soccer coach and Associate Faculty at
Mt. San Jacinto College. While there he posted a 21-13-6 record bringing unprecedented
regional and statewide ranking and recognition to the program in just two seasons.
In 2003-2004 Voss also was the men's and women's assistant soccer coach at
California State University at San Bernardino. The Coyotes men's team produced
its first winning season since 1993, going 12-8-1 and winning the CCAA's South
Division title and advancing to the conference tournament semifinals where CSUSB
lost 1-0 in overtime to Chico State. The Wildcats went on to win the CCAA and
West Region titles and reach the national title match. The women were almost
as successful, posting an 11-8-2 record, qualifying for the NCAA West Regional
for the first time in the 15-year history of the program, where they lost 1-0
to CCAA and West Region champion UC San Diego.
Five times Voss has been named Coach of the Year. The Christian League named
him Coach of the Year in 01-02 while the Big Sky League did the same in the
02-03, 03-04 and 05-06 seasons. He also earned the honors in 2005 in the Foothill
Conference. Voss attended Santa Clara (Calif.) University from 1991-93 and was
a member of the soccer team that finished 20-1-2 and was NCAA Division 1 National
