Kickers Destiny announced 2009 season schedule and home venues

The Richmond Kickers Destiny of the USL W-League will open the 2009 campaign on the road to expansion franchise Cary Lady Clarets on Friday, May 22nd. Entering their sixth season in the W-League, the Destiny will begin their home season one day later, Saturday, May 23rd when they play host to the Charlotte Lady Eagles at 2:00 pm at the University of Richmond Stadium. The twelve-game regular season schedule will conclude on Wednesday, July 15th at the Hampton Roads Piranhas.
 
The W-League will feature 37 teams in 2009, playing in five divisions that comprise the Central, Eastern and Western conferences.  The league is officially a "Pro-Am" league, allowing current college players to join train and compete against top competition over the summer before returning to school for their fall seasons.

The Destiny will once again compete in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference alongside the Atlanta Silverbacks, Cary Lady Clarets, Charlotte Lady Eagles, Hampton Roads Piranhas, Northern Virginia Majestics and Tampa Bay Hellenic.  The twelve-game, balanced schedule will pit the Destiny against each of the Atlantic Division opponents home and away once during the regular season.   
 
This season, the Destiny will take home field advantage at one of two venues in Richmond.  While half of the home games will take place at Sports Backers Stadium, the Destiny will be featured as the first leg of doubleheaders with the Richmond Kickers pro side three times during the season at the University of Richmond Stadium (just off the Downtown Expressway).
