Solar Soccer Club is an American youth soccer club based in the Dallas suburb of Allen, Texas. It is a member of the Elite Clubs National League (ECNL).
History
[edit]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]
