OUR HISTORY
Rich City League is a Richmond basketball tradition founded in 2011 with a simple mission: bring the city together through high-level competition, community pride, and the love of the game.
What started as a local summer streetball league quickly grew into one of the most exciting basketball events in the area. Over the years, Rich City League has hosted talented players from across Richmond and beyond, creating a platform where athletes could showcase their skills, compete at a high level, and represent their city.
The league has collaborated with respected basketball communities such as the Goodman League and the Entertainers Basketball Classic, and has even received recognition from SLAM Magazine while being featured in local news and media.
Today, Rich City League continues that tradition by creating a competitive and organized environment for players while keeping the energy and authenticity of Richmond basketball culture alive.
More than just a league, Rich City League is about community, opportunity, and representing Richmond with pride.
