“I am extremely excited about the opportunity to work as the Technical Director for Chesterfield United. The club has demonstrated its commitment to the players, teams and membership by hiring an experienced technical staff that will provide a quality program that is second to none in the Richmond area. Richmond is a great soccer area, rich in talented players as well as quality coaches and clubs. There will be challenges ahead and constant work to be done, but the structure has been put in place here for Chesterfield United to take the program to the next level!” Kevin Darcy.
