Deutscher Sport Club
The DSC was a Charter Member when the CVSA was founded in 1975. From 1975 to 1988 our Club teams won a total of 27 championships with their Premier Teams alone. In 1988 the Club canceled its very successful soccer program. After many years without a soccer team, the DSC, with a recommendation from its Sports Manager, Gary Ilch, decided to once again create an adult soccer program and participate in the CVSA competition.

Gesangverein Virginia
The Männerchor Gesang-Verein of Virginia was founded in Richmond on July 2, 1852, and began as a German men's singing society. Though the club has changed somewhat over the years, and is today primarily a social club with limited emphasis on singing, many of the old German songs are still being sung by the members. Old songs such as "Lili Marlene", "In München Steht Ein Hobräuhaus", and "DU, DU liegst mir im Herzen" are still popular favorites sung to the sounds of live accordion and piano music.
