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]
