What is PONY Baseball’s Code of Ethics?

As a non-profit organization dealing with youth, PONY Baseball, Inc. (a.k.a. PONY Baseball and Softball), shall be nondiscriminatory in its hiring practices and the general conduct of Corporate business.

The Corporation cannot tolerate physical, mental or sexual harassment by staff, Field Directors or Local League officials representing PONY Baseball and Softball.

Conflict of interest on the part of any employee, member of the Board of Directors, Field Directors or Local League officials is to be disclosed.
