Aaron Lowe and Anthony Cox were two coaches that were already on the coaching staff, that applied.

Grundy,Hurley,Lebanon, Twin Valley and Honaker were all in our league in our last full season. With each area team having one team per division. Im not sure how Tazewell runs there youth league. I guy work with has told me that Graham plays in the Southern Mountain Youth Football League .I know Mountview and Montcalm are in that league too, not sure about there other league teams. I generally don’t like to pass on information when I don’t have full details. But last week when I signed my boys up for flag and fall football I was told by one of the Richlands league reps that they are working on trying to possibly form a Southern Virgina Youth League. An attempt to try and bring everyone together. Including the above mentioned teams and inviting Graham, Tazewell, Abingdon and a team from the Ridgeview area to join. I don’t know how far along they are in making that happen , but I think it would be awesome for youth football in our area!

I would have to agree that soccer, travel baseball, travel basketball and a growing youth wrestling program has probably impacted youth football numbers across the area as a whole. With that multitude of options kids have an opportunity to try different things, sports that may better suit there size, age, weight and skill set. Richlands still has 5 total teams. 2 in the younger smurf division, 2 in the pee wee division, and the boys combine to form 1 team in the older midget division.

Right man for the job is already on the staff Imo , Aaron Lowe

As a parent with two kids in the Richlands youth program, can some one tell me why they feel that the league is failing? I just registered my boys last week, to play flag football this summer and football this fall.
