VA Revolution Announces Partnership with Local 5 Plumbers and Gasfitters
Leesburg, VA – VA Revolution is proud to announce a new partnership with Local 5 Plumbers and Gasfitters, welcoming the organization as an official partner of the club.
This partnership brings together two organizations that are both deeply connected to the local community. Local 5 Plumbers and Gasfitters have a long-standing presence in the region, and their support reflects an investment in the families and communities that VA Revolution serves every day.
As part of the partnership, Local 5 will serve as the presenting sponsor of VA Revolution’s Minis and Bambinis programs, supporting players at the very beginning of their soccer journey. By investing at this stage, the partnership helps strengthen the foundation of the player pathway and reinforces the importance of early experiences in building a lifelong connection to the game.
Through this collaboration, Local 5 will have a visible presence across VA Revolution programming and events, connecting with players, parents, and supporters throughout the season. The partnership also provides an opportunity to highlight career pathways in the skilled trades while supporting the club environment that brings the community together around the game.
“We’re excited to welcome Local 5 Plumbers and Gasfitters to VA Revolution,” said Karl Sharman. “They represent the kind of community-focused partner that aligns with what we’re building here. This is about supporting families, investing in the next generation, and creating something that people can be part of.”
“We’re proud to partner with VA Revolution and support the work they’re doing in the community,” said Local 5’s Business Manager. “Being involved at the beginning of the player journey through the Minis and Bambinis programs makes this especially meaningful for us.”
The partnership will be visible across VA Revolution programming throughout the year.
