Before Erie FC. Before the Admirals. There were the Strikers.
The Erie Strikers Soccer Club was established in the 1980s — boys and girls teams, age divisions, indoor and outdoor seasons, and enough first-place hardware to fill a trophy case. In June 1992, they hosted the first Flagship Cup at Edinboro: 150 teams, 2,700 athletes. One parent called it “a soccer player’s dream.”
In 1995, the Strikers name was retired. But the club’s roots run straight through every local program that followed — the Admirals, and eventually Erie FC.
This month’s tee is for anyone who grew up on those fields.
