Welcome to the website of the Central Virginia Soccer Association. This site is updated perpetually and will contain current schedules, standings, and other happenings in the league.

The Central Virginia Soccer Association (CVSA) is a non-profit, adult soccer league headquartered in Richmond, Virginia. Games are played at various sites in the city of Richmond, as well as Hanover, Henrico & Chesterfield Counties. The league is in the misdt of its 50th year of operation, having started play in the Fall of 1975, and is the oldest and most competitive in the Richmond Metropolitan Area. The CVSA is sanctioned by the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) and the United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA) through its membership in the Metro D. C. - Virginia Soccer Association (MDCVSA), with whom it participates in U. S. Open Cup, USASA National Cup and MDCVSA State & Challenge Cup tournaments. The CVSA hosted the MDCVSA State Championships at the Bryan Park Soccer Complex from 2000-2005, and continues to be an integral part of the maintenance and development of that facility, having provided over half of the funds to build the facility, which opened 26 years ago in April 1999.

The Spring '26 season is upon us, with team & individual registration coming soon.


FALL '25

14 Divisions, 106 teams, trophies for everyone! One the heels of two CVSA Cup runners-up finishes, Team 804 finally broke through and captured a major title, taking the Fall '25 Premier Division crown. Team 804 finished the campaign undefeated (6-0-2), nine points clear of the remainder of the field, vanquishing the two teams that had put them on the business end of the aforementioned CVSA Cup Finals.

With only the Summer '23 Second Division sitting in their trophy case, Inter Richmond took the First Division with a 7-0-2 record. Becky Bandits, a Team 804 affiliate took the Second Division, while +3 FC, appropriately, won the Third Division; they're thinking of changing their name to +2 FC for Spring '26. Viet RVA, won the Fourth Division, while Richmond FC Masters returned from hiatus to take the Fifth Division. In the Sixth Division, the feelgood story of the CVSA's 50th anniversary season was told, as the 40-year Old Virgins of the CVSA, Hardywood Park FC, took their first title ever, on a tiebreaker, defeating second-placed Escudo Azul in the season finale on a cold Longdale night. Rounding out the open divisions is Screaming Eagles Classic, who took the Seventh Division, with talisman Jonathan Blair bagging a hat trick in the finale.

Team Riggs won the Veterans Premier, with Boca and Cruz Azul taking the Veterans First & Veterans Second, respectively.

The ever-shrinking Women's Division was won by Angry Lemons, who took this this season's tiara.

In the Coed ranks, both genitalia & obesity were double-entendred, as Ballsagna FC and Sporting Abeergut FC took their respective titles.

HANS E. STIENEN (MAY 1, 1942 - OCTOBER 10, 2025)



The Central Virginia Soccer Association lost one of its founders this October.

Hans Stienen, of Prince George, Virginia, one of the co-founders of the CVSA, passed away on Friday, October 10. Hans was a former President of the Deutscher Sportclub (DSC), having served multiple terms as the head of the organization. DSC's soccer teams were a powerhouse in the early years of the CVSA; in the league's first decade, DSC won six (6) First (now known as the Premier) Division titles, four (4) CVSA Cup titles, and seven (7) Summer First (now known as the Premier) Division titles. More remarkable was that the 11-a-side primary seasons back then went uninterrupted from September to May, making the run of championships that much more impressive.

An Honorary Lifetime Member and former President of the CVSA, Hans teamed with Ron Beckstoffer of the Internationals to break away from the City Parks & Rec's adult league; from the History of the Deutscher Sportclub:

In 1974 Hans Stienen joined the Club, and the soccer team, it was decided that the team needed a coach more then a player, so, Hans became the first official Soccer Manager of the DSC. After meeting with the managers of the other teams for a few seasons, Hans had the idea to form a soccer league, making the teams independent of the City. Hans Stienen, and Ron Beckstoffer, the manager of the Richmond Internationals, then founded the league in 1975, and called it the "Central Virginia Soccer Association.”

In its first season, the CVSA started with six teams, the German Sports Club, the Internationals, the Greeks, the Latins, Ft. Lee, and Richmond South-Side.

Hans's obituary can be found here. Hans will be missed, and remembered fondly by earlier generations of local pioneering adult amateur soccer players from the 1970s & 1980s. We extend our sympathy to his family, as we all continue to enjoy what Hans helped create.

Prost, Hans! Du hast tolle arbeit geleistet!
