Scott Schweitzer (born August 12, 1971 in Rahway, New Jersey) is an American soccer coach and former professional soccer player. He spent two years as the head coach of Carolina RailHawks FC.
Schweitzer was a four-year letter winner at N.C. State University. He was a two-time All-American (second team in 1991 and first team in 1992) and named Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year in 1992. He was a member of the Wolfpack team that made it to the 1990 NCAA Final Four. Schweitzer was also a member of the U.S. World University Games Team from 1992–1994. In 2002, he was selected to the ACC's 50th Anniversary men's soccer team.
Schweitzer began his professional career in France in 1993 and 1994, where he played for Stade Brestois 29 and En Avant Guingamp of the French Third Division. Upon his return from France, Schweitzer played for one season (1995) with the Atlanta Ruckus of the American Professional Soccer League (the forerunner to the A-League) before moving on to the Carolina Dynamo of the United Soccer Leagues in 1996. In 1997, Schweitzer was named to the USL-1 First Team.
Schweitzer moved to the Rochester Rhinos of USL-1 in 1998. During his time with the Rhinos, Schweitzer won three USL-1 championships (1998, 2000, 2001) and one U.S. Open Cup title (1999). On a personal level, he was named to the USL-1 First Team four times while with the Rhinos, and twice was named First Division Defender of the Year.
