Jersey Shore GSV Little League Receives Grant to Support Youth Baseball Improvements

Jersey Shore GSV Little League is proud to announce it has received a grant from the Little League Fund for Youth Sports held at First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania (FCFP) to support improvements to local youth baseball facilities and programming.

Jersey Shore GSV Little League serves as the chartered Little League organization for several local areas, including Avis Little League, which utilizes the Pine Creek fields.

This funding will directly support the repair and replacement of the dugouts on the Minor and Major fields in Pine Creek. The project is designed to provide a safer, more functional, and more enjoyable space for hundreds of youth athletes and families who utilize the fields each season, as well as the broader community that uses the park year-round.

“We’re really grateful for this support. These fields mean a lot to our families, and this helps us make them safer and better for our kids,” said Brittney Worden, President of Jersey Shore GSV Little League.

“This is a huge win for our kids and our community. These fields get a lot of use, and having safe, updated dugouts is something that benefits everyone who steps onto them,” said Jamie Bower, Chair of Avis Little League.

“We are thankful for the support of the First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania, as well as our volunteers, community members, and Watson Township for stepping up to help make this project possible,” said Samantha Wian, Vice President of Juniors/Seniors for Jersey Shore GSV Little League.

The fields serve not only as the home for local Little League players, but also as a public space open to all residents. Improvements made possible through this grant will enhance safety, accessibility, and overall usability for everyone who visits the park.

The Little League Fund for Youth Sports, created in 2016, benefits Lycoming County organizations that promote youth activity and healthy living through sports. Grants support programs serving children under the age of 16 or individuals with special needs, with priority given to projects that remove barriers to participation or enhance the overall experience for youth athletes.

Funds for this project were provided by the Little League Fund for Youth Sports at the First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania.

FCFP works to improve the quality of life in north central Pennsylvania through community leadership, the promotion of philanthropy, the strengthening of nonprofit impact and the perpetual stewardship of charitable assets. FCFP strives to create powerful communities through passionate giving. For more information visit www.FCFPartnership.org.

This project has also been supported by ongoing community fundraising efforts, local volunteers, and families dedicated to ensuring a positive experience for youth athletes.

Yesterday was a big day for our fields, and it would not have been possible without some incredible people stepping up.

At Pine Creek, we had an unbelievable crew putting in serious work. Rick and Al from Watson Township not only picked up our equipment rentals, but also donated their time getting both infields raked, leveled, and ready for new dirt. Judd Welshans donated his time and equipment to do some cleanup work, haul dirt from the parking lot to the fields, spread the new infield mix, regrade the pitching mounds, and remove the old bases from Field 2.

This effort also included our Majors baseball manager, Dick Delaney, along with several committee members and their children who put in the time and labor to help bring everything together with minimal meltdowns and snack requests.

A huge thank you to Dave Worden and Josh Bubb for donating their time and equipment to get the Kephart field prepped and ready for new infield dirt. We also want to thank Joe’s Equipment in Jersey Shore for the use of their equipment to help make it happen.

This is what community looks like. People showing up, stepping in, and getting it done for the kids.

While all of this work undoubtedly lightened the load for today’s cleanup at the Pine Creek fields, there is still plenty to be done. We’re not finished yet, but we’re a whole lot closer.

We are endlessly grateful for every person who gave their time, equipment, and energy, and to those who give at other times as well.

🚨 FIELD CLEANUP. ALL HANDS ON DECK 🚨

This Sunday (3/29) we’re rolling up our sleeves and getting our fields ready.

The infields are being raked and mounds rebuilt tomorrow, so we’re ready to keep things moving Sunday.

We have 50 tons of infield dirt to spread along with:
• Installing new bases, plates, and mounds
• Hanging backdrops
• General cleanup around the facilities

A representative from each family (T-Ball, Minors, and Majors) is expected to be there. This only works if everyone shows up.

Community support is more than welcome. If you’ve been looking for a way to help, this is it!

If you have wheelbarrows, shovels, or rakes, please bring them.
The more help we have, the faster this gets done.

Let’s get these fields ready for the kids!

Not gonna lie… this one’s got us a little teary-eyed. 🥹

Huge shout out to Jason at JTS Construction & Excavating LLC!

We’re still on for our T-Ball, Minor, and Major field cleanup on Sunday, March 29 at the Pine Creek fields!

We’ve got a lot to accomplish to get these fields ready for the season — infields to prep, bases, mounds, and plates to install, and backstops and banners to hang.

If you have shovels, rakes, or wheelbarrows, feel free to bring them along. The more help we have, the quicker we can get everything done.

Many hands make light work — let’s get these fields ready! 💪⚾

🚫 Juniors Baseball Field Cleanup – CANCELLED 🚫

We are cancelling the Juniors field cleanup scheduled for this Sunday at Kephart Field.

At this point, there’s simply no benefit to putting volunteers out on the field until the infield issues are properly addressed. The current conditions go beyond what a cleanup day can fix, and we want to make sure everyone’s time and effort are actually making a meaningful impact.

We truly appreciate everyone who was willing to show up and help. That support does not go unnoticed.

We do hope to reschedule once the infield has been taken care of and the field is in a condition where volunteer work can make a real difference.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

We were overwhelmed by the amount of help we received for our move today! We cannot thank all of our helpers enough for braving the freezing wind to help us get things moved so quickly. Looking forward to a great season at Pine Creek! ⚾️
