History

Solar was founded in 1976. [1] In 2010, its chairman since 1996 resigned after being accused of stealing more than US$800,000 from the club. [2]

Solar has become one of the most-recruited-from clubs for colleges in the United States. [3] Its head women's coach from 2007 to 2020 was Derek Missimo, who led players including his daughter, Lexi, to national championship games every year after 2016. [4] Solar won the ECNL Girls Overall Club Championship in 2021–22. [5]
