Scott Maxwell is a retired American Soccer player (born in 1968) that played professionaly for 2 years in the SISL for the Amarillo Challengers and in the USISL for the Phoenix Hearts. Scott was born in Detroit, Michigan. At the age of 3 months his family moved to Lima, Peru where Scott learned to play soccer at an early age. The Maxwell family returned to the United States in 1977 living in Rochester, Michigan. It wasn't until the Maxwell family relocated to Plano, Texas (a suburb of Dallas) in 1979 that Scott began to thrive as a soccer player. After being pursued by the best local teams, Scott joined the Dallas Titans at age 14 and played in the prestigious Dallas Classic League until he graduated High School. Being frustrated with the lack of Division 1 teams in Texas, Maxwell passed on the opportunity to join several fellow teammates at NAIA powerhouse Midwestern State University and instead enrolled at Texas Tech University (where his brother Bill was a student). That did not keep Scott from playing soccer. He played for Texas Tech University from 1986-1990, leading the Red Raiders in goals in 1989. He was also voted CO-MVP along with goalie Tim Glenn in 1989. Scott continued on after college, playing for the Phoenix Hearts for the 1992/93 Indoor Season, scoring several game winning goals. "Petar Baralic was the best Indoor coach I ever played for, he truly tought me the Indoor game" Maxwell would say. After several moves, Scott ended up back in Dallas in 1993, where he continued to play at the top amateur level in the Dallas Premier Mens League. Maxwell finally retired for good in 2004, after being diagnosed with a back injury.
