History

The Chargers became a founding member of the newly reorganized fourth tier of the American soccer pyramid, joining the USISL Premier League in its inaugural 1995 season. The league, operated by United Soccer Leagues, would later become the Premier Development Soccer League in 1997 and the Premier Development League in the Chargers final active season in 1999.
The Chargers became an annual contender early in league history, claiming the regular season championship and recording a perfect season by winning every regular season match in 1998. They followed this up with a strong performance in 1999, again earning the regular season championship but stumbling in the playoffs.
Following their season in 1999, the team folded.
