MIDLOTHIAN, VA - (Monday, May 2, 2011) - The Richmond Kickers, in conjunction with Midlothian Youth Soccer League (MYSL), are pleased to announce that Field 9 at Hensley Park has officially been designated PODS Field. A field dedication ceremony was held on Saturday morning, April 30th, during the height of recreation play, making the name change official. Officials from the Richmond Kickers and MYSL took part in the ceremony along with Wesley Mullins, President and Owner of the local PODS(r) franchise for the Richmond area. The Richmond Kickers and MYSL merged this spring and will be operating under the same administration beginning this fall.
"PODS is delighted to be a partner of the Richmond Kickers and to be supporting youth soccer in Central Virginia," said Wesley Mullins, Owner of PODS. "Through our involvement with youth soccer, specifically with the Kickers and MYSL, we understand the impact that this game and these organizations have on young people. For PODS, this is the element that makes our involvement so rewarding."
"Having PODS(r) containers at Hensley has made an absolute world of difference to our staff, volunteers and players," added Tom Leahy, MYSL Board President. "The units are efficient, effective, and have allowed us to save time and money. Given the importance of what PODS has done for our organization, it's only fitting that we return that gesture by having PODS Field at Hensley. Having PODS permanently represented at our facility signifies what an important partner they are to youth soccer in Central Virginia."
"Saturday's ceremony is a testament to the impact that PODS has had on all children playing soccer under the Kickers umbrella in central Virginia," commented Shelley Sowers, General Manager of the Richmond Kickers. "PODS has been a great partner to the Richmond Kickers for many years, and now that MYSL and the Richmond Kickers have merged, the impact that PODS has on our organization will only be that much greater."
