Founded in 2007, the team played in the USL Premier Development League (PDL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid.

On May 13, 2008 the Outrage took part in the Old Burdicks Challenge Cup, in which they defeated perennial PDL powerhouse Michigan Bucks in their first ever official match.

An unexpected 4–1 defeat at the hands of Cleveland Internationals at the beginning of June notwithstanding, Outrage's impressive form continued through the middle of the summer; three back-to-back wins over Cincinnati Kings, West Michigan Edge and Fort Wayne Fever kept them well in the hunt for the playoffs.

Against the run of form, Kalamazoo dispatched hot favorites Michigan Bucks 3–1 in their semi final, following a late equalizer from Tom Oatley and two goals in extra time.

Despite being beaten 4–0 by eventual national champions Thunder Bay Chill in the Central Conference final, Kalamazoo's impressive debut season bodes well for the future.
