OUR CITY
The Richmond United Soccer Club
(RUSC) serves the city of Richmond,
California and its neighboring
communities. Richmond is a diverse
city in the San Francisco Bay Area with a
population of approximately 103,000.
WHY RICHMOND UNITED?
Our Focus: Richmond United isn't just
about soccer. We believe that it is a tool
with which we can encourage our youth
to persevere and pursue a brighter
future. While we wish our teams success
on the field, the true measure of success
is to develop responsible youth who
succeed in life.
Affordability: We believe playing youth
soccer should be accessible to everyone.
Whether you play competitive soccer or
recreational soccer, our registration fees
are some of the most affordable in the
area. We work hard to stretch your fees
by obtaining apparel and equipment for
coaches through sponsorship and we
also provide every single player with one
soccer ball each Spring. We are proud to
provide as much as we can while being
one of the lowest price options around.
WHAT WE OFFER
Outdoor soccer: During the spring and
fall seasons, we play against teams from
Albany, Berkeley, El Cerrito, San Pablo,
Oakland, and beyond.
Competitive Soccer: For U-9 through
U-19 teams, we offer a competitive
program through Nor Cal, from Bronze
to Premier. You can play against some of
the best competition throughout the Bay
Area.
Educational Activities: For us, this
component is critical. We organize trips
to various colleges and conferences. In
the past, our U19 girls attended a
national conference for Hispanic
Engineers in Anaheim, CA.
MISSION
With the help of the sport of soccer, to develop
our children into responsible citizens who will
become the future leaders of our community.
HISTORY
The Richmond United Soccer Club (RUSC) was
founded in 1995 by members of the community
interested in providing youth with an opportunity
to play soccer. Since then, the club has seen
many members come and go but recently has
seen a tremendous upward trend in
participation. This is due to the quality of the
program, which promotes fun, development,
and education. Moreover, it is due to its
volunteers that have worked diligently to
implement strong values and a vision that
encourages our community to reach for higher
goals.
GENERAL INFORMATION
We are part of the Alameda Contra Costa Youth
Soccer League (ACCYSL), a non-profit
organization dedicated to promoting youth
soccer. RUSC is currently composed of 34
teams (24 Boys Teams and 10 Girls Teams) and
a U-6 "pee-wee" program. The 30+ teams
range from U-8 to U-19 teams. The U-6
program is available for boys and girls ages 4 to
6. RUSC welcomes boys and girls (ages 4 to 18)
to participate, regardless of experience or
background.

We expect to continue growing with parents and players that share our vision. There are
many more youth that have yet to play team sports (we estimate that there are thousands of
youth in Richmond who do not play a sport); we plan to reach out and encourage them to
play and engage in a positive activity.
