To further develop the skills of our young players, MHPB offers a Fall Ball program. The season begins in early September and ends in November. Fall Ball involves Shetland through Pony divisions. For Shetland through Mustang, Fall Ball is designed to provide a non-competitive, instructional league in which more time is spent developing individual skills. For Bronco and Pony, the games involve competition inter-locks with other leagues with the expectation that players will work to get to the next level. In either case, Fall Ball 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. For more information email tournament@mhpb.org or call:
