Recreational Soccer Report
The Recreational Spring Soccer Season and U4 Clinics are off to a great start! We are still looking for youth referees for the season. If you are interested. please contact Elizabeth West at recreation@fcrichmond.com

We had our 2nd installment of the FCR Recreational Coaching/Player Clinic Series on Monday, April 12th. This installments' focus was Goalkeeping.  Mac Phillips, our GK Director ran an hour-long technical session on the all-important basics of Goalkeeping, which included a warmup, proper hand position, types of distribution and GK positioning. As in the 1st installment, we captured this on Facebook live. We plan on running another session in May.... stay tuned.

Staff Spotlight
FC Richmond wouldn't be FC Richmond without the incomparable Dave Amsler. Dave is the father of youth soccer in Richmond. In 1971 Dave started the first organized soccer program in Richmond. Over the years most youth soccer in Richmond can be traced back to Dave. Recently Chesterfield County Parks and Recreation highlighted his impact on soccer in Richmond, and his many accomplishments, in their Touching Base publication. Read more HERE
RVA Athletes Partnership
FC Richmond is excited to announce a new partnership with RVA Athletes and founder, Glenn Pfluger! Glenn is a sports performance and injury prevention specialist whose driving force is to “be better than the competition”. And that’s what he wants for the athletes he works with as well. Glenn has a unique approach to sports performance that encompasses total body evaluation first, then he designs custom programs for each athlete to focus on their specific results. 
 
FC Richmond travel athletes will be offered a special price ONLY available to our club and represents the lowest rate for sports performance training. The FCRSP package will offer three months of twice weekly training. Players will schedule their own training times around their schedules.
