Homer Screws took over the Coe women's soccer team in the fall of 2007. He is also the head coach of the men's team, a position that he also held from 1992-1998. During his first stint, the team made it to the Midwest Conference finals in 1995.

Screws is a native of Tacoma, Wash. where he was a standout youth and high school all-state player. He played collegiate soccer at nationally ranked Warner-Pacific College in Portland, Ore. Screws had a five-season professional career in which he played in more than 100 indoor and outdoor games for teams including the Tacoma Stars, Portland Timbers and the Atlanta Attack. Unfortunately, he suffered a career-ending knee injury and has focused on coaching ever since.

Screws has had success coaching youth players and various competitive teams over the last 20 years. Some of the most notable coaching accomplishments include several state championships, two appearances at the Region 2 semifinals, and coaching a club team with a national ranking as high as ninth in the country. However, if asked, he is most proud of the hundreds of individual accomplishments in which he has been part or had some influence. Literally hundreds of his players have gone on to compete at NCAA Divisions I, II, III and NAIA levels, with over 100 that were State ODP players, more than 20 Regional ODP players and several national team members. Most important to Screws is that several of his former players have been inspired to and are now coaching club, high school and college soccer.

Coach Screws’ mission is to “develop a winning, positive culture of soccer of which current, past and future players can be proud.” Furthermore, he believes the relationships developed by working toward a common goal will last far longer and mean more than any result on the playing field.
