PONY Baseball divides the divisions strictly by age. Beginning with the spring 2007 season your child?s age is considered to be how old he/she will be on April 30 in the year you are participating in league play. This is a change from the previous age determination date of July 31.  Example: You are registering your 7 year old child in December of 2006 and their 8th birthday is in April 2007. Your child will enter league play for the 2007 season as an 8 year old even though the season will be partially over before their 8th birthday. The divisions and ages are as follows:

Shetland (ages 5-6) 

Your child's introduction to baseball begins here. This is a non-competitive T-ball division that emphasizes teaching the basic and fundamental skills of baseball.  

Pinto (ages 7-8)

This division introduces more of the rules of baseball. Player pitching, sliding into bases, and base running techniques will all be used.

Mustang (ages 9-10)

This division is where we begin to play competitive progressive baseball. We utilize kid pitchers only, allowing players to lead off and steal bases, and managers will try to execute other tactics of baseball. It is a competitive division where umpires are used and standings are kept. 

Bronco (ages 11-12)

This division uses the full rules of major league baseball throughout the entire season. Emphasis is placed not only on individual skill development, but on team strategies required at this advanced level of baseball. Players will adjust to a larger field, stronger defenses, and more experienced pitchers.

Pony (ages 13-14)

This division is characterized by bigger fields and bigger players that has a more advanced and competitive level of baseball. At this level, emphasis is still on the fundamental physical aspects of the game, however, a lot of time is also devoted to the mental aspects of the game as the need to anticipate and react becomes more critical.

Colt (ages 15-16)

This division begins play in mid-May after the high school season ends. Players play on a major league sized field. The competition is intense, as these players make up the crop from which the high school varsity team draws its future talent.
