RICHMOND, Va.–Virginia Credit Union and the Richmond Strikers have entered into an agreement designed to expand access to youth soccer for children that will result in the naming of 11 fields on Pouncey Tract Road as Virginia Credit Union Fields at Striker Park.
According to Virginia CU, founded in 1975 and later organized as the Richmond Strikers in 1986, the Strikers were founded with the “belief to provide unsurpassed individual development, family enrichment and community connection through team sports.”
The Richmond Strikers youth sports programs support 4,500 players ages 4-19.
The organizations said the partnership with Virginia Credit Union will enable the Strikers to grow its programming and provide more than $50,000 annually in scholarships allowing nearly 75 players to participate with the Strikers.
Bringing Family Together
“Youth sports brings families and communities together,” said Chris Shockley, Virginia Credit Union president/CEO. "We are excited to partner with the Richmond Strikers in this initiative. With thousands of youth and families joining together, Virginia Credit Union Fields at Striker Park represent another way our member-owned credit union can connect with families and our wider community.”
