Pennsbury Tournament Thanks

Hey Les,
Great seeing you and thanks again for all you do and the support! Tourney was super smooth. As you saw, I have a really solid 16U squad this year – we ended up going 5-1 (won the last shortened game 1-0), so would love to get back to the Power Pool/Newtown next year as we’ll be 18s with a lot of rising Seniors. Also, 3 of my Class of 2022s were all conference at the Centennial Conference – and all 3 got their offers at Pennsbury!!
Best

Les,
On behalf of the 6 Jersey Outlaws teams that played in this years Pennsbury Showcase I just wanted to reach out and say thank you so much for taking such good care of us and hosting a great event. As always we had a great week and got a ton of looks and we had 5 players receive offers during your event which is incredible!!!  If there is ever anything we can do for you my friend just let me know!!!

Thanks,
Dan Berg
Jersey Outlaws

Les,
Thanks for another great showcase! You always treat our organization, and specifically my teams, wonderfully. I appreciate all you, your family, and your staff so to give the girls a great experience. The past weekend produced multiple offers for my girls and our organization with many other potential offers down the road! So thank you for another fantastic event! I had a couple players participate in the college camp prior to the showcase, they were wondering how they can get their metrics that were measured at the camp? They never received any of that information. Any help you can provide would be fantastic and thanks again for a great event!

2025 Pennsbury Tournament Game Schedules

Exciting News:

We are currently registering college coaches and posting their information on the Attending College Coaches webpage. If any player on your team is interested in a particular college, they can check the Attending College Coaches webpage to see if that coach will be present.

We have informed college coaches that player profiles have been made available on the Pennsbury website, and their response has been overwhelmingly positive. Despite this, some attending teams have yet to send us links to their player rosters. We are excited to share this wonderful news about the coaches, and we encourage you to spread the word.

Best regards,

Les and Joe

Congratulations Les Venella

The NFCA (National Fastpitch Coaches Association) recently awarded the Pennsbury Inviational Tournament and Pennsbury Gems for providing a 40-year commitment to women-student athletes.  Accepting the award Les Venella and Joe Parell, both Les and Joe have been managing the Pennsbury Invitational Tournament since 2001. 

Here's to the Home Team

The Gems are an incredibly successful and highly-regarded softball team in the Pennsbury Tournament Softball league. Their impressive legacy can be traced back to 1981 when Art Coleman founded the Pennsbury Panthers softball team. As the team’s popularity and success grew, Coleman decided to expand and create a 15-U team, which he named the Gems. The Gems quickly became known for their talent and skill, and were envied by other teams in the league. As the years passed, the Gems continued to attract top-level players and improve their performance. When the 15-U players eventually progressed to the 18-U team, they decided to hold onto the Gems name as a symbol of excellence and tradition. It is a testament to the team’s hard work and determination that they have maintained this successful legacy for so many years.
