To The Editor:
After a many-year hiatus, the Mad River Valley Little League brought back girls’ softball in 2018, making our league more inclusive and providing a better option for girls. While girls are still welcome to play Little League baseball, having softball teams will give the girls a league of their own. And the league will help Harwood Union Middle and High School by providing a feeder program and getting more girls involved. We are planning to build on our successful 2018 season by installing a new softball field. While the field and backstop currently exist, we need to install an all-clay infield and dugouts. MRVLL is in the process of fundraising to make this field a reality. We have secured grants from the Couples Club and the Mad River Valley Recreation District; however, we are still in need of additional funding to make this project a success. The Mad River Valley Little League board of directors is actively seeking donors looking to make an impact on the community and our new softball program. If you would like to help, please contact Mike Fiaschetti at
