Kalamazoo TKO are an American soccer team, founded in 2007. The team is a member of the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, and will make their debut in the Midwest Conference in 2007.
They will play their home games at a stadium somewhere in the vicinity of Kalamazoo, Michigan. The exact venue has yet to be announced.
The acronym TKO has no official meaning – it was first coined by the club’s former coach Paul Wolpert when he was 11 years old, and was part of a group of local Michigan AYSO players who participated in the Adidas Dominos Pizza Soccer Tournament in Lansing, Michigan, and called themselves The Kalamazoo Outfit, or TKO for short. Since then, TKO has been used as an acronym for Technical Knock-Out, and even The Killer Oranges, both of which are listed as being correct on the official TKO website.
