What would you do for fun, especially in Richmond? I'm asking for our student team members and adults.

A lot of this depends on how much time you have and when. I am assuming that you will have a bus to get around in.
On nice weather days, Belle Isle is a terrific place for outside running around and general relaxing. Access is via bridge hung under Belvedere Street is and right by the VCU campus. Many students go there on nice spring days, or swimming in warmer summer days. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_Isle_(Virginia)
Maymont Park is also fun, there is a small zoo there in addition to the gardens. http://www.maymont.org/

The CAA basketball tournament is Friday-Monday, with games downtown at the Richmond Coliseum. http://www.caasports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=43048&SPID=3455&DB_OEM_ID=8 500&ATCLID=1402043
About an hour and a half west is Charlottesville, with Monticello. Would make a nice half day trip. http://www.monticello.org/
About an hour east is Williamsburg and a bit past that is Jamestown. http://www.history.org/ http://www.historyisfun.org/
Headed north, you have DC about two hours away on the way to Annapolis with all that DC has to offer.

That is what comes to mind right now. If you had any other suggestions or details I could likely find something else fun.
