Exciting News Regarding U10-U12 PDP Program!!
FC Richmond has decided to change the name of the U10-U13 PDP Program for the 2009-2010 seasons. Teams in the U10-U13 program will now be known as FC Richmond Metro Boys and FC Richmond Metro Girls. The same ideas and principals behind the current program will remain the same. The only change is to the name of the teams. The main purpose of the name change is to avoid any confusion between the U8-U9 PDP program and the U10-U13 PDP program.
For complete details of the change, read the following letter from the FC Richmond Directors.
Fall U8/U9 World Cup, a Huge Success!!!!!!!!!
A seasonal tradition continues for the U8/U9 PDP Program, as everyone enjoys the World Cup  Tournament. A tradition started by John LeLay, at the conclusion of each U8/U9 PDP Season, a World Cup tournament is set up for the players to participate in. This season's event was delayed a few weeks due to inclement weather, but thanks to the help of some loyal volunteers, the tournament was held and the players had a great time. Congratulations to all players and teams involved, especially Team USA (pictured to the right)
