Jeff Enquist
Club Head Coach

Jeff brings a wealth of soccer experience to Portland City United Soccer Club. Before he joined PCU full-time he was the head coach at Pacific University, where his men's team was ranked seventeenth in NCAA Division III during his last year. Jeff was Northwest Regional Coach of the Year in 1996 and took his teams to the NAIA playoffs in 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997. His team made their first appearance in the NCAA playoffs in 1998.

A native of Beaverton, Jeff played at Beaverton High School; in 1986 he was Oregon Player of the Year, a Parade Magazine All-American and a NSCAA All-American. Jeff played college soccer at University of Nevada Las Vegas and Oregon State. He played professional soccer for the Portland Timbers in the 1990 season and served as a player coach for the Cascade Surge in the U.S. Inner Regional Soccer League. He has a USSF National B and Youth License.

Jeff works with all of PCU's players throughout the season. He regularly watches all of our teams play, meets monthly with all coaches, runs weekly skills sessions, and occasionally conducts team practices for coaches.
