John Purtteman will lead both the Men's and Women's Soccer programs in 2007 after a successfull first year as the head men's coach. He added duties as an assistant coach with the women's team after a late season coaching change in 2006.

Purtteman is a graduate of the great Geoduck teams coached by Arno Zoske and he's proven himself in a decade of college coaching at South Puget Sound Community College.

Twice named Evergreen's MVP, Purtteman went on to play professionally for the Portland Pride, Seattle Seadogs, Florida Thundercats and Denver Thunder. He was twice named to the Continental Indoor Soccer League all-star team.

Purtteman brought that professional playing experience into his coaching at SPSCC. Taking over a program that struggled to a record of 10-59-6 over the previous four seasons, Purtteman guided the Clippers to a 10-7-3 record in his first season. By 2003 the team was playoff-bound for the first time in school history, and in 2004 Purtteman led SPSCC to within a game of the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges championship with a 15-5-3 record.

In addition to his new duties at Evergreen, Purtteman serves as coaching director of the South Sound Select youth program and owns the Golden Goals residential soccer camp in Union, along Hood Canal .
