Jaime Beltran enters his second season as Head Coach of the Saints men's soccer program after being hired to start the program in 2022.

In the inaugural season for the Seward County men’s soccer program, Coach Beltran led the Saints to an 8-8-3 finish including their first ever playoff berth in the Region VI Tournament. Seward County went undefeated in nonconference action with four shutout victories while also recording a winning record at home with a 4-3-1 record in Liberal. Beltran’s recruiting paid off throughout the 2023 season as the Saints had six players earn All-KJCCC honors led by goalkeeper Bruno Mestres who was the only goalkeeper on the first team while earning KJCCC Goalkeeper of the week twice in the 2023 season and an NJCAA Goalkeeper of the week selection on September 13^th. A year of many firsts for the program, Coach Beltran helped sophomore Santiago Gonzalez-Uribe sign with Shorter University as the first ever four-year signee for the Seward County men’s soccer program.

Before helping start the Saints’ men’s soccer program, Coach Beltran spent six seasons as the head coach of the Roadrunners’ men’s and women’s soccer programs at State Fair Community College in Sedalia, MO. During this time both programs had success on and off the field. In 2022 the women’s team broke the record for wins in a season for the third year in a row with 10 wins. In the fall of 2021, Beltran led the Roadrunner men to a 7-6-1 record and the Lady Roadrunners to a 9-5-1 record. During the 2020 season, which was moved to the spring of 2021, he led the men’s program to a 4-3-3 season and an appearance in the Region 16 tournament semifinal round, and the Lady Roadrunners finished that year with a regular season record of 7-4, achieving the program’s highest national ranking and advancing to the Region 16 Tournament Semifinal round. The men’s team achieved a 9-6-2 record during the 2019 season, and the women finished in the top spot of the regular season standings for Region 16 in 2018.

Beltran came to Sedalia from Jarvis Christian College in Hawkins, Texas, where he spent the 2016 season as the head coach for the men's and women’s soccer programs.

Before his time at Jarvis, from 2011-2016, he spent five years at another NJCAA program, Ranger College in Ranger, Texas, where he coached the men’s and women’s soccer teams. During the 2011 campaign, the men’s team won its first-ever game at the region tournament and first appeared in the region championship game. In 2013, he guided the team to their first-ever Region 5 Championship and an NJCAA Division I National Tournament appearance; both were firsts in the program’s history. He was named the NJCAA Division I Region 5 Men’s Soccer Coach of the Year in 2013-14 and followed that up in the 2014 season by leading the men’s program to its best regular season in school history. The men’s team broke the program record for wins, recorded the program’s first-ever 10-win season, and went undefeated at home. 

The women’s team at Ranger went winless the year before Beltran’s arrival. Under his direction in 2011, they went 8-7 in his first season. The 2011 season was the first-ever winning season for the women’s team. Beltran also served as the assistant athletic director at Ranger, as well as technical director, where he created and maintained the athletic department website.

From 2008 to 2010, Beltran coached at the University of the Southwest, an NAIA university in Hobbs, New Mexico. He was the head men’s soccer coach during the 2008 and 2009 seasons. He led the women’s program during the 2009 season.

Coach Beltran also has coaching experience from the club soccer level as a staff coach for Gaston United Soccer Club and served as the Director of Coaching for Burke Soccer Association in Morganton, North Carolina, from 2006-2007.

Beltran also has several years of High School coaching experience in North Carolina and New Mexico.

Beltran has a United States Soccer Federation-National D Coaching License. 

He received a bachelor’s in Psychology from Mars Hill College in Mars Hill, North Carolina in 1997.
