Brief History:
Delaware Progressive Social Club started as a Couples Retreat founded in 2016 by a group of couples who were looking for a way to socialize and connect with other like-minded individuals. The club quickly grew in popularity, and soon there were dozens of couples participating in its activities. One of the most popular activities at the club was soccer. The men in the club were all passionate about the sport, and they would often play together in informal matches. In 2017, the men decided to form a formal soccer team and join the NVT.
