From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
San Jose Frogs are an American soccer team, founded in 2006. The team is a member of the United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League (PDL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, and plays in the Southwest Division of the Western Conference against teams from Azusa, Bakersfield, Calabasas, Fresno, Irvine, La Mirada, Lancaster, San Francisco and Ventura.
In November 2006 the Frogs announced that they would be transferring from the National Premier Soccer League to the USL Premier Development League for the 2007 season, making them the first club in history to make such a move.
The Frogs play their home matches at James Lick Memorial Stadium on the campus of James Lick High School in the city of San Jose, California. Following the relocation of the San Jose Earthquakes Major League Soccer franchise to Houston, the Frogs enjoyed considerably larger-than-average attendances during their inaugural season in the NPSL. The team's colors are red and black.
The club's nickname, the Frogs, comes from the club's owner, German industrial designer Hartmut Esslinger, whose company Frog Design Inc. was responsible for the first Apple Macintosh computer in 1981, amongst other things.
