River City Sting
Women's Tackle Football Team

We'd like to introduce you to a women's tackle football team in Richmond, VA; we began our inaugural season in April 2021 and have had a Championship appearance in 3 out of 4 of our seasons. We have now entered into the USPWFL, a developmental league for the WFL-- we may soon have the opportunity to pay our players, which is a first of its kind.
Love the game of football? We want you! Never played before? No problem! All skill levels and backgrounds are welcome. Try something different and be part of a new movement. Let's advance the game together and let's break barriers, one play at a time...

Welcome to
A New Movement

The River City Sting is a women's tackle football team in Richmond, Virginia. Our mission to empower women reaches beyond field-play. We hold team-based activities and fundraising events, as well as volunteer around Richmond in order to give back to the very community from which we came. We plan to create not only a legacy, but a movement. We’re breaking barriers, one play at a time...

Whether you've played for years or never had the pleasure of doing so, we welcome you to strap up your cleats with us. Not only are we passionate about this sport, but we are also passionate about our players-- you can accomplish great things with us!
