Welcome to Peninsula Pony League!
The Peninsula Pony/Colt Leagues
Inc. of the Palos Verdes Peninsula is pleased to announce it will be
conducting registration and tryouts for the 2008 baseball season
ALL APPLICATIONS
MUST BE RECEIVED BY JANUARY 6th TO BE CONSIDERED
THE FEE FOR 2008 IS
$325 PER PLAYER.
Baseball players age 13 and 14 and 8th
grade 15 year-olds, as of
April 30, 2008 are invited to participate in this season's upcoming program.
Try-Outs will be conducted at Ernie
Howlett Park on Hawthorne Boulevard in Rolling Hills Estates on the
following date and time:
Saturday, January 26, 2008 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM and
12:45 PM to 2:00 PM.
(Players can come at any time between the listed times)
In the event of rain during the above
date, tryouts will be held the following weekend on Saturday, February 2,
2008
The season will begin on Saturday,
February 23, 2008 and will end by the middle of June, 2008.
As many of you already know,
the registration fee charged does not cover the costs of operating the
League on a per player basis. The cities from whom we lease
fields charge substantial rent. Combine this with umpire costs,
insurance, uniforms and equipment costs and our average cost per player is
in the $450/player range. As Pony League does not conduct fund raisers
and does not have Snack Shack facilities to raise additional funds, we have
to look to special contributions to help sustain the League financially.
Please try to make an extra
donation as it is necessary to meet our needs for field usage & maintenance,
uniforms, equipment, trophies and umpires. Please contact Lee
Frantz at 375-8192 for additional information.
Also, we are seeking the
return of jerseys from any returning player that did not turn in their
regular season jersey, Winter League jerseys or all-stars jerseys at the end
of the season last year. Please bring them to tryouts if at all
possible.
We particularly welcome
parental support and involvement in the program as this is an organization
run by volunteers. We have been very fortunate to have coaches that
have been in the program a number of years. It is mandatory that we
have a manager and coach for each of the teams and request
that those interested, please indicate the area of interest on the
Application Form. Score keepers, team mothers and field personnel are
essential for each team to function properly during the season.
For those of you that are new
to Pony Baseball, we think you will find it very enjoyable. The
dimensions of the Pony fields are a natural step as the young men grow, with
the base paths being 80 feet and the distance from pitching rubber to home
plate at 54 feet.
To continue with registration,
--CLICK HERE-- to proceed to the online
registration form. You will be filling out a form online, printing and
signing it, then mailing it in to the league with a check for the amount
indicated.
Looking forward to the 2008
baseball season!
