Comment: For someone currently alive we need reliable sources for his career ending and his date of birth before this draft can even be considered. Otherwise, it must be removed. We also need reliable independent sourcing that gives Adam Maurer significant coverage, otherwise he does not quality for an article. See Wikipedia:Notability (sports) and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. —Sirdog (talk) 06:01, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Adam Maurer was born in San Diego, California. He attended Monte Vista High School, where he participated actively in sports, particularly soccer. Maurer won three national championships with the La Jolla Nomads youth soccer club.

He participated in the 1998 NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Tournament where the Fresno State Bulldogs lost in the first round to UCLA 1-2. His performances over three years at Fresno State earned him a place on the WAC All-Tournament Team (1998)[2] and the Goal Rush Classic All-Tournament Team (1999).
Maurer transferred to St. John's University (NY) for his senior year, under the guidance of head coach David Masur. He scored the lone goal in a win over then #1 ranked Duke University in the Bob's Store's UConn Classic [3] as well as the final goal of the season against Virginia in the 2000 NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Tournament.
After college, Maurer was drafted by the Philadelphia KiXX in the NPSL draft[4] but chose to play for the San Diego Flash. He played 26 games for San Diego Flash.[5] [6] He later played in Germany for SC Verl (under head coach Dieter Brei) and SG Wattenscheid 09.[7]
