Local girls soccer teams find provincial success

—
Two Richmond FC girls soccer teams found success at the recent provincial championships.
The U18 girls team won the provincials, and the U13 girls team came fourth after winning their league.
Both the U13 and U18 teams are coached by Bryan Wevers and Lee Howarth and assisted by Steve Howitt. All the U18 graduates can apply for a $5,000 scholarship given out by Wevers, who along with his wife Heidi gave out more than $50,000 in scholarships to this year’s team.
Under its new management, Richmond FC has doubled its membership and now has more than 2,000 members. Coaches have Premier League experience and aim to provide a high level of soccer education to develop young players.
“I couldn’t be more proud, as executive director, (of) receiving emails and letters from parents and grandparents thanking me for hiring such amazing coaches,” says executive director Marius Roevde.
Richmond FC is running camps throughout the summer, many of which are already sold out. Last summer more than 500 young athletes participated in camps at Hugh Boyd Park. Camps are coached by David Thorburn and Scott Guy.
There are also goalkeeper camps running at the same time, coached by Roevde—a former Canadian youth national team coach and Whitecaps FC’s first team goalkeeper coach.
