Pennsbury Tournament Testimonies
Good Morning Les,
I hope this email finds you well! I just want to thank you and your staff on behalf of our Connecticut Charge 18u Showcase team and our entire Charge organization for an incredible experience over 3 days at your Pennsbury Invitational. From the scheduling, grounds team, umpires, and site coordinator, everything was top notch. We were honored to have been invited as a first time for our organization and hope to have the privilege of being part of your event as a Connecticut Charge organization for years to come.

Hi Les,
I just wanted to thank you for another year at Pennsbury and allowing us to have three teams participating. Our 16 And regional teams did their best to tread water, But our 14s are where I believe our future is at moving forward. Next year, a majority of those players will be part of the 16u program and hopefully their showing will garner consideration at one of your main complexes. Lastly, sorry I didn’t get to see you or Joe being in Mansfield a majority of the week. Hope you guys are well and you enjoy the rest of your summers.
PS - We have at least one 2027 that received an offer and I will relate to you once that works out which should be soon. I know you guys like to get those stories. Best, Craig

Les, On behalf of the Trevians 18 team and the Trevians Fastpitch program, thank you once again for inviting us to participate in the Pennsbury Invitational. We had a great time, and we had several players who were watched by a number of coaches from schools of interest to them, and yesterday we even had one receive an offer. I hope you have a great rest of this summer, and I am already looking forward to seeing you again next summer. Thanks also to Joe, and your entire tournament crew (including your grandkids) for all the hard work. Best regards

Hi Joe, Les, and the Pennsbury Invitational Team, On behalf of the Delaware Magic Breeden team, players, and parents, I wanted to send a huge thank you to everyone involved in putting together such a fantastic College Showcase Tournament this past weekend. Joe and Les, the organization, communication, and execution of the event were top-notch from start to finish. It’s clear how much hard work goes into hosting a showcase of this scale, and your team’s dedication to providing a great environment for the players to perform in front of college coaches did not go unnoticed. Our girls had an incredible experience, and the Delaware Magic Breeden look forward to attending again next season! Thank you again for everything, and have a great, safe summer!
Best regards

Les, We have attended the Pennsbury Tournament for over thirty years, I believe we are one of few teams that attended the tournament since its inception. In the early years of the tournament, twenty teams attended the tournament which lasted two days. Art Coleman was a wonderful person with great vision for East Coast girls fastpitch softball, we played the Pennsbury tournament, many long Sundays with excellent competition that helped many players get recruited.

I just wanted to reach out to say thank you for the invitation and for being a major part of my team's recruiting success. My CT
Lightning Gold 2025 team has been at Pennsbury the last 2 years and has been
fully committed for months now. We have 3 players going DI (Seton Hall and 2 at
UMASS Lowell) 2 players going DII and 5 DIII. Pennsbury has been a huge part in
most if not all of these recruiting connections. My team is all seniors so
unfortunately due to their graduations and being committed we won't be at
Pennsbury this year but we have great CT Lightning teams looking to follow in
the success teams in our organization have had at your event. Although this is
my teams last year I am staying on as president of the organization along with
Kevin Rogers and am excited to be part of the recruiting process for our three
16/18u CT Lightning Gold teams coached by Steve Wright, Kas Hoag and our CT
Lightning Gold 09 team with Pete Ivey. All 3 are Elite teams with all players
dedicated to play in college. Thank you again for the opportunities you and your event provide. You have been a huge part of the success of our players and truly live up to your slogan "Where Softball Scholarships Come True".
