Solar SC, the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex club launched in 1976, pulled off an extraordinary 2018-19season. It became the first non-MLS club to win the U.S. Soccer Boys DA U-16/17 title in a decade and also won the Girls DA U-16/17 title. One of only two clubs to field Girls DA and ECNL teams in2018-19, Solar won conference titles in both leagues. With the demise of the U.S. Soccer’s DA for both genders, Solar SC will field boys teams in both the new MLS youth league and ECNL Boys, in whichit also previously competed. Solar’s girls will continue in ECNL, and Solar will continue to field boys and girls teams under the U.S. Youth Soccer umbrella.
