Thank You Coaches
October 6th was National Coaches Day and we would like to say a very special thank you to our wonderful coaches! We are grateful for their dedication, time and commitment to helping our players grow both on and off the field! On October 15th, we will have a special appreciation day for our volunteer recreational coaches! Coaches, please make sure you stop by the appreciation table at Robious Middle School from 9am-1pm for delicious treats and a chance to win prizes!
Futures Program
Did you know that our U9 & U10 travel program, formerly known as PDP (Player Development Program), is now called the Futures Program? The Futures program is designed to introduce and transition players to competitive soccer. U9 & U10 Magic and Mystx Futures players compete in the Advanced Development Soccer League (ADSL), a local league featuring Richmond based clubs. Training is specialized with a focus on agility soccer movements, ball mastery techniques, team building fundamentals and a variety of small sided games in a FUN, energetic environment. Players are selected from a tryout process in April/May. We believe the future is bright with these young players!

Camps and Training Opportunities
Non-Stop Soccer has proudly offered professionally run soccer camps, clinics, and training for over 22 years! Under the direction of FC Richmond Executive Director, Trip Ellis, and our highly experienced and licensed coaching staff, your child will receive high level instruction in a fun, energetic, and creative environment.
