The first Scorpions team was created in July of 1998 at the South Middle School in Braintree. Recently hired at Braintree High School, Fred Marks wanted to improve the Braintree program by creating a local club that Braintree players could enter to advance their development.
Although located in close proximity to powerhouse South Coast Girls and other strong clubs like Sporting Cristale, KICS, Blazers, Crusaders and South Shore Select, the Scorpion teams soon dominated all local competition and statewide competition as well. Teams coached by Fred Marks and Ryan Puntiri soon won USYSA State Cups and many local tournaments.
Scorpions merged with South Coast Girls (Duxbury) and later with Elite Soccer Academy (Hopkinton). Scorpions were either first, or among the first, to hire full time club employees.
Many more State Cups were won, 5 Regional Championships and a National Championship 0-1 loss followed. Tournament Championships at National level tournaments including Jefferson Cup, WAGS, PDA, Disney, Players Cup etc. followed.
Scorpions Alum Samantha and Kristie Mewis have become members of the full US National team. Both Kristie and Sam were drafted in the top 5 of the NWSL in 2013 and 2015. Amy Caldwell, Lauren Berman and Mackenzie Meehan have also all participated with their U.S. Youth National Teams. Around 2010, Scorpions became members of the nationally prestigious Elite Club National League (ECNL) and have been note worthy members of that leagues since.
In 2018 the club leadership was passed to the long serving hands of Scoprions Regional and ECNL Directions, Evan Burokas, Nick Rugnetta and Darren Burke. Since 2018, the club has gone on to win two (2) ECNL National Championships and has experienced tremendous growth across New England.
Between the 2021 - 2023 seasons, Scorpions experienced its largetst growth by adding Rhode Island Power Houses Bruno United to its Scorpions Rhode Island Region, while also creating a Scorpions South Program in which our newely formed Scorpions ECNL Regional teams compete from.
After taking over in 2018 with 250 players, Scorpions will head into the 2024 year with almost 2,000 players within its competitive platforms.
