SWFL Adrenaline are an American soccer club that compete in the Premier Development League, the fourth division of American soccer. The team represents the Naples–Marco Island metro area of Florida.
History
The Adrenaline won their inaugural match 5-1 against the Fort Lauderdale Schulz Academy on May 11, 2013. Xavier Silva, who also plays for the nearby Florida Gulf Coast University soccer team, scored the team's first-ever goal.[2]
On May 21, 2013 head coach Mick Whitewood stepped down and was quickly replaced by John Robinson (footballer). The Adrenaline finished in seventh place of the Southeast division in its inaugural season.
In Jan 2015, Chris Cousins was hired as General Manager to the team, in a dual position that also means he overlooks the college recruitment of the academy players.
