Kitsap Pumas is an American soccer team based in Bremerton, Washington, United States. Founded in 2008, the team plays in the USL Premier Development League (PDL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, in the Northwest Division of the Western Conference. The team plays its home games at Bremerton Memorial Stadium, where they have played since 2009. The team's colors are blue, white and gold.
[edit] HistoryThe Pumas played their first official game on May 2, 2009, a 5-0 victory over the Spokane Spiders, with the first goal in franchise history being scored by Tony Kerr.[1]. The Pumas qualified for the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in their first year beating the Cascade Surge 3-0 at home on the final day of qualifying, outlasting the Portland Timbers U23's by 1 point.[2] Their stay in the tournament was a short one as they lost to the USL Division I Portland Timbers 3-0 in front of a record crowd of 2,128.[3] Kitsap rebounded with victories in its next five games to take a commanding lead in the Northwest Division. The Pumas became the first team in the PDL to clinch a playoff spot, doing so on July 5.[4] They missed a chance to take the division when they gave up a goal in stoppage time against the Timbers U23 on July 4 [5], but defeated the Abbotsford Mariners 1-0 on July 11 as Stephen Phillips scored off a Alex Megson assist to earn the team's first ever Northwest Division title and a first round playoff bye. [6] Kitsap went onto beat the Seattle Wolves in their first ever play-off match 2-0 in front of a club record attendance, before losing to Ventura County Fusion 2-1 in the National Quarter Finals in Laredo, Texas. On August 11 2009, it was announced that head coach John Wedge would not return for the 2010 PDL season[7]. [edit] Players[edit] Current rosteras of July 18, 2009

[edit] CrestThe official Kitsap Soccer Club crest was designed by Joel DuChesne, who won a competition held by the club to design a logo for the team prior to the 2009 season. Pumas owner Robin Waite said “We were floored when Joel’s entry came it. It struck so completely at the heart of what the Kitsap Soccer Club is all about – traditional, authentic, yet modern, clean and looking to the future. He absolutely nailed it.” As his prize, DuChesne was presented with tickets to the club’s opening match against Tacoma Tide on May 15, 2009, and a pair of full 2009 season tickets.[8].
