‘01 GIRLS The development of female players is a major focus of the Daphne Strike Soccer Club, and one of the shining examples is the success of the ‘01 Girls squad. “In the older ages we do have some exciting groups coming up,” says Flores. After a successful regular season in the spring of 2016, the ‘01 Girls advanced to the regional tournament in Texas. Flores says this group of talented teenagers has gelled nicely, creating a chemistry to compliment their individual skills and leadership. He believes that the team’s good fortune in 2015-16 is just a glimpse of what this team is capable of achieving. “That group is one that is going to stick together and actually that should be a fun one to watch and see how they go,” says Flores. “I think we’re in a fun place where we can see the talent develop and do well.”
