History
RVA FC, originally from Richmond, Virginia, enjoyed great success during their first season in the NPSL at Sports Backers Stadium. The team was coached by former American midfielder Grover Gibson, who had a successful club career in Germany. Gibson would lead RVA to a first place finish in the Mid-Atlantic Division with a balanced attacking squad, featuring 29 goals from 10 players during the regular season. The club would advance to the NPSL championship and defeat the Sonoma County Sol 2–0 at Sports Backers Stadium to claim the title and complete an undefeated 10–0–2 season. After the 2013 season, Gibson moved the team to his hometown of Fredericksburg, VA and merged with Fredericksburg Area Soccer Association to become Fredericksburg FC.
In 2014, the team placed third in the Mid-Atlantic Conference with a 5–0–5 record but failed to qualify for the playoffs. 2015 saw the team finish first during the regular season before going out in the regional semifinal. In 2016, the first team finished with a 6-2-2 record and a regional first round appearance. Fredericksburg FC has qualified for the 2016 and 2017 Lamar Hunt US Open Cups.
