Winterball is now Fall Ball!

To further develop the skills of our young players, MHPB offers a Fall Ball program. The season normally begins after Labor Day and ends in early November. Fall Ball is designed to provide a non-competitive, instructional league in which more time is spent developing individual skills. It also provides an opportunity for players advancing to the next division, to become accustomed to the field dimensions, rules, and speed of the game they will face the next spring. Fall Ball involves Shetland through Pony divisions.

Print this registration form and fill it out completely. Follow the payment and mailing instructions to submit.

If this is your first time playing in our league, please bring a copy of your child’s birth certificate with you
to signups. No mail-in registrations will be accepted for first time players.

Q2. What is the cost and what uniforms do we get?

A2. Cost is $50 per player. Each player receives a Morgan Hill Pony Baseball shirt. Players can wear their favorite caps and baseball pants.

Q3. In what Pony division should I register my child for fall ball?

The division they will play in next spring depends on your child’s age as of April 30 of the following year.

5-6 Shetland

7-8 Pinto

9-10 Mustang

11-12 Bronco

13-14 Pony
