FC Richmond is pleased to announce the hiring of Marty Beall as our new Girls Director of Coaching. Marty brings over two decades of coaching experience at both the collegiate and youth levels and a proven track record of developing players and programs with integrity, energy, and excellence.

Most recently, Marty served as the Assistant Women’s Soccer Coach at Virginia Commonwealth University, where he was responsible for scouting, recruiting, and practice planning. Prior to that, he was the Head Coach of the University of Richmond Women’s Soccer Program (2018–2022), where he led the Spiders to their highest A10 win total since 2011 and fewest goals against in over a decade.

Marty made his mark nationally during his nine-year tenure as Head Coach at High Point University, becoming the program’s all-time winningest coach. Under his leadership, the team captured 4 Big South Tournament Championships, 4 Regular Season titles, and he earned Big South Coach of the Year honors twice.
