PDL's Kitsap Pumas boast 7 former NAIA players on current 2013 Roster; benefit from Tourbeau Pro Combine

2011 PDL National Champions, the Kitsap Pumas, seem to have found their niche. The NAIA.

In a 'brand' of their own, the Bremerton, Washington-based soccer club is a professional-PDL side which is a model that doesn't exist within the 75+ team league across North America. 

While working on a limited budget, coaches James Ritchie and Dusytn Brim travel thousands of miles across the country hunting down young, talented and unexposed players who are looking to crack into the professional ranks as a professional soccer player.

Staying within the regulations of the league for age limits (over 23) and International slots, yet balancing the difference between their club and every other team in the league, being paid...is tricky and unique. 

After securing the coveted PDL Championship crown just two seasons ago, you would expect the Pumas to be a high-profile program with every top collegiate player wanting a chance to play in the Northwest for the club....yet again-- pump the brakes. 

These players are paid. And that is the difference. 

The Kitsap Pumas can't go after the top collegiate players who are looking to hold onto their 'amateur status' as they can with other PDL franchise in the league. (Yet other teams in the league have had previous status to their name as a PDL-pro side, such as Hollywood Hitman and Dayton Dutch Lions in 2010)

And so comes the job of Ritchie and Brim. 

The two eager coaches seem to have their footprints in every small city, university and combine in the country. And as a result, expect big results in an extremely tough Northwest Division alongside the Portland Timbers, Seattle Sounders, Vancouver Whitecaps and other solid opponents. 

Those footprints have been most visible in the smaller divisions and associations where the talent exists, but the exposure does not, like the NAIA. 

For the 2013 season, the Kitsap Pumas have rostered a hefty seven (7) players who have played in the NAIA, and many of them as of very recent. This is not the first year either, as Ritchie snagged former Walsh University standout, Ben Truax, for the 2012 campaign.

Kennedy Chongo

Several of this year's players who boast numerous accolades and accomplishments at the NAIA level, have come as a result of the Tourbeau Pro Soccer Combine event in which the Pumas have taken full advantage of. The Pumas attended the event and have signed four players in the past two seasons as a result, while also picking up other notable former NAIA performers such as Biola's Kennedy Chongo (former MLS Chivas USA trialist). 

Other players on the current roster also attended Tourbeau's event including Belhaven University standout, Alex Rodriguez and former Biola NAIA All-American goalkeeper Aaron Fenlason. 

The consensus across the league, the soccer market, the college spectrum is.... the raw talent, pure skill and high level of play exists at ALL collegiate levels, but who is willing to invest loads of time and energy (like Kitsap) to find this niche in order to be successful?  THAT question will always be up for grabs.

Columbus Sports Council chooses Tourbeau Sports as Producer of 2013 NAIA Softball Championships

Columbus, Ga.

Tourbeau Sports Group will produce video streaming content for the 2013 NAIA Softball Championships for the third consecutive year.

TSG has inked a new deal with new venue host, the Columbus Sports Council, to produce all streaming content for the upcoming national championship in Columbus, Ga.

For the two previous years, Tourbeau Sports has worked alongside the Alabama Gulf Shores Sports Commission to facilitate all production content for the tournament, but now will shift gears to a new location and a brand new format.

"We want to thank Herbert Greene and the entire staff at the CSC for their commitment and decision to entrust us with producing a high quality broadcast on the NAIA Network for this year's tournament", added president Chase Neidig.

"It is a very exciting time for NAIA Softball as we see a new format introduced to the tournament with only one-field at a time being played. This gives us so much more flexibility and ability to produce better, professional content beacause we are not worrying about multiple fields at a time."

Tourbeau Sports will produce the content for the stream, as well as DVD's for fans, coaches, programs and players to order to capture their memories forever.

The 2013 edition of the national championship will be played at the beautiful South Common Sports Complex, which has been the host to all major collegiate national championships throughout its history as well as a site location for the 1996 Olympic Summer Games.

A year ago, Oklahoma City and Shorter competed in one of the most exciting championships in the history of the tournament, while several highlighted plays were the talk on ESPN's Top 10 (check out HERE ).
