0513: David Putman, Homewood Soccer Club
Homewood Soccer Club Director of Soccer David Putman was recognized at HHS soccer’s senior night.
At the recent Homewood High School varsity boys and girls Senior Night at Waldrop Stadium, this year’s class of senior players were recognized and applauded for their years of great service to the high school soccer program.
But then the recognition turned to the man who helped them get to where they are today.
For the past 11 years, Homewood Soccer Club Director of Soccer David Putman led the club during significant growth and development. Among other things, he formed the Board of Directors and successfully involved large numbers of parents in the progress of the program.
Putman knows all the seniors who were recognized — as well as most of the underclassmen and women — because the majority of them started their soccer careers in kindergarten or elementary school in the Homewood Soccer Club’s Patriot league years ago. He took a genuine interest in all the players, watching them — and assisting in no small way — in their growth to become the soccer players they are today.
