THANK YOU to all the clubs who chose to attend the Richmond Dogwood Invitational and helped us make it a reality! The weekend was more than competition results. It was to acknowledge and witness the hard work, dedication, and teamwork of athletes who put in multiple hours of training to prepare for competitions such as these. It was about the coaches, judges, and families who support the athletes every step of the way. To the judges and coaches, thank you for your time and expertise. Many thanks to our multiple members who went over and beyond the ask, and to people who simply volunteered their time, effort and thought to make the event run smoothly. Looking forward to seeing everybody again at the Richmond Dogwood Invitational 2027!!

This meet will provide clubs and athletes with another exciting opportunity in the season to engage, showcase their talent, and compete. We can’t wait to welcome you to our meet!
