Chester County Team Continues Epic Journey To Little League World Series

WILLIAMSPORT, PA — When the Little League World Series gets underway this week in Lycoming County, a team from southeastern Pennsylvania will be representing the region and mixing it up with the best of the best from around the globe.

The Glenmoore Eagle Little League, from Upper Uwchlan Township in Chester County, has advanced to the biggest stage in youth sports. Champions of the Mid-Atlantic region, they'll take the field against the Midwest's champion, Sioux Falls in South Dakota, on Thursday, Aug. 14. Game time is 7 p.m.

The boys are ready.

"They have been ready since they were 8," Glenmoore Eagle shared after their mid-Atlantic region-clinching win.

2025 marks the fifth consecutive year the the Mid-Atlantic region will be represented by a team from Pennsylvania, following teams from Upper Providence, Hollidaysburg, Media, and Council Rock. While all were remarkable teams who captured the hearts of Pennsylvania sports fans, none quite rose to the level of the legendary 2015 team from Red Land, the last Keystone State to win the American championship.

Red Land was ultimately defeated by the Tokyo, Japan boys in the World Series final. But a decade later, their impact lingers. And the path has been laid for the next Pennsylvania team to go all the way.

"To say we are proud of these kids and coaches would be a huge understatement," wrote Michael Meehan, with the Glenmoore Eagle Little League. "Obviously, they are great players, but they also play and coach the game the right way, and they represent our league and community to the highest degree."

The days since their Mid-Atlantic championship win on Aug. 8 have been a whirlwind. The team immediately got on a bus and headed off to Williamsport to prepare for this Thursday's game. They've received flashy new Mid-Atlantic region uniforms, which still pay homage to the red and blue of Glenmoore Little League. And they've participated in a series of photo ops with ESPN crews ahead of the tournament's launch.

Glenmoore Eagle has launched a GoFundMe to help players and their families cover basic expenses which have been incurred since they hit the road in early June. They had raised just over $2,500 as of Monday morning.

The World Series begins on Aug. 13 and will continue through Aug. 24. In-person admission is free to all games. In the past, many games have had full or nearly full crowds in the stands, while championship games often have thousands in the grass field extending beyond the outfield in the hills above the complex.

More than 300 of the games will also be broadcast on ESPN.

The tournament will feature 10 of the best teams from a series of regional tournaments around the United States, and 10 teams representing various countries globally.
