The Kitsap Soccer Club named Peter Fewing as its head coach. The club also announced its first-ever jersey sponsor, Windermere Real Estate.

Fewing comes to the Pumas following a diverse and highly successful coaching career highlighted by a stellar run at Seattle University. During his 18-year tenure at the helm of that program Fewing captured five regional championships. His teams also won two national collegiate championships at the NAIA and Division II.

“Pete takes us to the next level,” said owner Robin Waite. “We’re glad to have him.”

“I am thrilled with the opportunity to coach at this level — especially after having spent this past summer with Seattle Sounders,” said Fewing. “Working with athletes that want to excel at the pro level is something I’ve always looked forward to.”

“Pete is going to be tremendous for us both on the field and off the field,” said Pumas executive director Ben Pecora. “If you’ve not heard him speak, you are in for a real treat. I firmly believe that Kitsap will fully embrace this guy.”

Windermere Real Estate becomes the first-ever jersey sponsor in the brief history of the club. The firm’s logo will feature prominently on the front of the team’s official home, road and replica jerseys. The agreement runs for two years with the club holding an option on a third-year. The firm will also receive high-visibility, in-stadium placement at all Pumas home matches.

“Windermere is a perfect fit for what we aspire to — committed local ownership; a firm with real Northwest roots and an appreciation for outstanding customer service and tradition” said Pecora. “This agreement came together faster than any other I’ve ever been associated with — which is a real testament to Mike and his team.”
