Coach
John Purtteman took over the South Puget Sound Community
College (SPSCC) soccer program in 2001. Over the previous
four years the program struggled with a combined record
of 10-59-6. Coach Purtteman immediately guided the Clippers
to their second-ever winning season... with a record of
10-7-3!
By
2003 the team was playoff bound for the first time in
school history. Most recently, in 2004, the Clippers made
it all the way to the Northwest Athletic Association of
Community College (NWAACC) finals. They finished the season
with a record of 15-5-3, another school record.
While
the reward of on-the-field success is evident, Coach Purtteman
has said, "The greatest satisfaction has been watching
the players grow. It is a great honor to be associated
with the players. Their commitment and dedication is an
inspiration." |
