What is the season calendar?
Sign-ups for the spring season begin in late fall, and early registration closes in early December. Subject to space availability, registration continues into January, although some age divisions fill quickly.
Player evaluations are held in January, and players are assigned to teams by the beginning of February. Practices begin in early to mid-February. Until the season starts, practices are held twice a week.
The season begins in early to mid-March, and runs through the end of May. During the regular season, teams play two games per week (usually one Saturday game and one weekday early evening game). Teams practice once a week and sometimes schedule batting practice as well. Playoffs start in late May, and for teams that advance all the way through the playoffs, end in mid-June. (The Pinto Division season ends in mid-May and playoffs end at end of May or beginning of June.)
Near the end of the regular season, top players from each of the divisions are chosen for All-Star teams and play in tournaments throughout the LA area. The All-Star season begins with a Memorial Day tournament hosted by Cheviot Hills Pony Baseball and runs through early August.
Do the kids really pitch?
Yes, kids pitch in all games - even in the Pinto Division - and they love it. Pony Baseball encourages kids to learn and enjoy the full baseball experience, while implementing rules that limit how much and how often a kid can pitch, to protect their growing arms.
