Rick Geyer

Rick Geyer combined dazzling athleticism, keen strategic insights, and clutch play to become one of the most feared and respected players of his era. Rick was a team leader whose winning attitude was contagious. With Rick in the huddle and on the field, his teams believed they could beat the best teams in the world—and they did. Rick won a College Championship with Stanford in ‘84, two National Championships with Bay Area club teams, Flying Circus and Tsunami in ‘85 & ‘88, and WUGC in Colchester, England with Tsunami in 1986. In addition to being a phenomenal goal-scorer, Rick is credited by his teammates as being one of the architects of the “Stanford O,” an offensive set that revolutionized the sport in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. Rick, an unassuming and private man, never advocated for himself. Fortunately, in the 2024 Look-Back process, his teammates and opponents did. Rick Geyer’s enormous contributions to the sport as a player and team leader may finally be recognized.
