LETTER: Green Mountain Morgans softball team seeks community support for next games
July 15, 2025 Dear Central VT Community,
Our very own 8–10-year-old Little League Softball All-Star Team, the Green Mountain Morgans are Vermont State Champions, besting both the reigning district and state champions as well as heavy-weight teams from the Burlington area!
This “little team that could” consistently stared down bigger and more experienced teams and never blinked! Next up is the opportunity and honor to represent Vermont in the East Regional Tournament in Staten Island, N.Y., July 24-30, where they will face the best teams from 11 other states.

The total cost per athlete is $1,500 and we are raising funds to help make this trip possible.
This season has been nothing short of remarkable. This area has never won Little League Softball Districts, let alone states! These dedicated young athletes have worked incredibly hard for this opportunity. This kind of success isn't just about wins and losses; it's about building resilient, confident, and collaborative girls with an incredible work ethic. Kids learning through doing, away from all the screens this summer. Now they’re moving on to build a lifelong memory of competing at the regional level in Staten Island.
To continue this incredible journey, we are kindly requesting your support. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a direct impact on these girls' ability to represent Vermont on a regional stage. For example, a donation of:
$25 could help cover a portion of a player's transportation costs.
$50 could contribute to essential team meals.
$100 could help offset lodging expenses for one player.
Thank you for your consideration, for being a vital part of the Green Mountain Morgans' championship journey, and for helping these incredible athletes reach new heights.
Sincerely,
Katie Green, Kristin Brynga, Jamie Winters, the Green Mountain Morgans coaching staff and families
