About Us

Central Virginia United (CVU) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3), educational organization that fosters the physical, mental and emotional growth and development of all participants through the sport of soccer at all levels. CVU is affiliated with the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) and its youth soccer division, the United States Youth Soccer Association (USYSA) through the Virginia Youth Soccer Association (VYSA).

CVU is proud of our 35+ year commitment to providing soccer camps, teams and leagues all with the goal to make soccer fun and instill in young players a lifelong passion for the sport. We currently have over 1000 members, and we encourage participants of all ages and experience levels to come out and join us!

Our Travel Program (highest level of play - competitive) competes in the Skyline Club Soccer League (SCSL) and Blue Ridge Soccer League (BRSL) with the top team in each age group and gender playing in the SCSL Premier Division. Classic Level Travel Teams are placed in the appropriate Classic Division as determined by the CVU Directors of Coaching. The Travel Program begins at the U11 age group through U18 or U19 in some cases, for both Boys and Girls. The Travel Program is run by the full time CVU Technical Director. CVU Travel Players have become the top school players in Central Virginia.

We also offer an Academy Program at the U9 & U10 age groups for Boys & Girls. The Academy Program is a mid-level program designed to properly prepare players technically for the highest level program (Travel). This is done through "travel level" training and competitive (but fun) festival play in our region of the state. The Academy Program is administered by the full time CVU Technical Director.

We also offer our grassroots Developmental Recreation Soccer Program for youths ages 4-1/2 to 17. The focus of the "Rec" Program is to develop a love for the game, have fun and learn the basics. Like most recreational soccer programs, the CVU "Rec" Program is coached by volunteer coaches, while the program itself is managed by the professional soccer staff at CVU.
