Warhawks Soccer registration is open for the spring season!
The Richmond Spirit Warhawks organization is a non-profit Christian organization that exists to glorify Jesus Christ through serving homeschool families in the Central Virginia community by providing physical exercise and competition in a multitude of athletic arenas. We believe that athletic competition allows a unique avenue through which participants, parents, and coaches can exemplify Christ-like character. In victory, we will personify Jesus’ ministry of mercy and compassion. In defeat, we are presented with the opportunity to demonstrate humility, patience, and self-control. Only that at all times, and in every circumstance, it is our desire to demonstrate the character of Jesus Christ and to promote His Gospel of Reconciliation to the Richmond community and state of Virginia at-large.
Located in Goochland: 1851 Dickinson Road
QuickStart tennis is designed to help children ages 5-9 learn to play the exciting game of tennis! The size of the courts, the equipment, and even the net height have been decreased to make learning easier for children. These changes will ensure the success of all participants, even if they have never picked up a racquet. If there is inclement weather, we will move into the GSC Gym.
