Virginia Legacy was an American soccer team based in Williamsburg, Virginia, United States. Founded in 2002, the team played in the USL Premier Development League (PDL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, until 2009, after which the franchise folded and the team left the league.
The team played its home games in James City County Stadium. The team's colors were white, red and black.
History
The team was part of the larger Williamsburg Soccer Club, a thriving amateur sports association serving the local community founded in 1976. In 2001, the club joined the United Soccer Leagues, creating a team franchised in the Premier Development League.[1] The team was known as Williamsburg Legacy until January 2007, when Williamsburg Soccer Club merged with the nearby Colonial Football Club to form the Virginia Legacy Soccer Club. The PDL team then changed its name to Virginia Legacy to reflect the merge.
