Brent Richards
Place of Birth: Portland, Oregon
I was a 4 year student-athlete at the University of Washington and then played soccer professionally from 2012 to 2023. I started my career as the Portland Timbers first Homegrown Player. From there, I went on to play for Reno 1868 FC and Orange County SC of the USL Championship. I played over 200 professional matches and won a national championship with Orange County SC in 2021. By the end of my career, I’d played every position on the field apart from goalkeeper.
I coached in the RCF Youth Academy and Select Teams from 2015 to 2019 as well as with Eastside Timbers.
Winning the USL Championship in 2021
The thing that makes RCF special to me is how we create lasting relationships with members of the community. Adults and young players that I remember from when I first started coaching here almost 10 years ago are still playing here multiple days per week and bringing their joy and competitive spirit to Rose City Futsal.
Run fast, kick hard.

Kicked the Ball around this much:
Since moving to Portland, I have worked with new and experienced players from 18 months to adult. I have coached outdoor soccer since 2012 through Portland Parks & Rec and North Portland Soccer Club, and I have been a part of the RCF Soccer Stars, Youth Academy, and Adult Clinic programs since 2016. I grew up around baseball and football and eventually ran track and cross country in school, so I came to play, coach, and enjoy soccer much later in life, but I’m glad I have! It would have been difficult not to in Portland, with so much culture and opportunity to participate in the sport, and the futsal classes and league play at RCF are a great way to get involved, develop skill, and grow as a player and now as a coach.
Fav Futsal/Soccer Memory:
Using what can best be described as “the force” to slot a game-winning goal through traffic with 30 seconds to play. At halftime I consciously said to myself, “it looks like you might have to win this game,” and I told myself to be ready. When the moment arrived, I knew it, and I was.
Why RCF?:
The width and breadth of classes, league play, and developmental opportunities, from entry-level to competitive, young children to adult, make RCF a great place to learn and grow in the sport, for players, families, and coaches!
