Recession Buster!!! Free baseball is back!!!

Register for the 2010 season at 2006 prices!

Romeoville Pony Baseball realizes that in this economy everyone is having to cut back. We have always made it a top priority to keep the cost of playing baseball in Romeoville economical. This year we have once again not increased our fees. We will also be offering 2 different payment options:

#1 "Free Baseball" - Take the designated allotment of fundraiser tickets to cover the cost of the registration fee and the required fundraiser. You prepay for these tickets at registration and once they are sold you keep the money. Once you have sold all the tickets you have not paid anything out of pocket for your child to play baseball.

#2 Traditional Registration - You will pay the required registration fee per age level and prepay for 8 required fundraiser tickets. Once you have sold the fundraiser tickets you keep the $80.

#3 Buyout Option - You simply pay the required fee for the age level you are registering for. There are no fundraiser tickets required for this option.

	Free Baseball	Traditional	Buyout
Pinto	16 Tickets*	$70 + 8 Tickets*	$130
Mustang	16 Tickets*	$80 + 8 Tickets*	$140
Bronco	20 Tickets*	$90 + 8 Tickets*	$150
Pony	20 Tickets*	$105 + 8 Tickets*	$165
Colt	20 Tickets*	$145 + 8 Tickets*	$205

*Note: Traditional registration includes a required fundraiser of 8 raffle tickets to be sold for $10/each. These will need to be prepaid for at registration for a total cost = registration fee + $80 (Fundraiser ticket value).

Player Evaluation Times!!!

Player evaluations are as follows:

Sat. Feb. 13th at the Romeoville High School Field House
Pony - 9:00am-10:30am
Bronco - 10:30am-12:00pm

All players are required to show at the draft. If a player fails to show at the draft they will be placed on a team randomly based on team need. No exceptions.

If players still need to register or be sized for a uniform they should plan on arriving 15-20 minutes prior to their scheduled draft time in order to do so.

Pinto Coach Pitch - There are no evaluations. Coaches will be calling players after Feb 13th.

What's PONY all about?

If you would like to have your son or daughter sign up for some real baseball and some real fun, than PONY Baseball has what you have been waiting for. With each passing season we have well over 550 players competing annually on over 45+ teams. Also, in 2010 we will have full/part time traveling teams from 8U up to 14U available in our league along with many other opportunities. Players are able to learn, compete locally, and older players (11yrs old and up) are able to travel. Teams will only play each other twice through out the season allowing for much more diverse competition.

We had an awesome season last year and are anticipating another one this year. We are also the only league in Romeoville to offer FREE Baseball. That’s correct! By signing up early at our Open House and participating in our fundraiser package your child can play in 2010 without any funds coming out of your own pocket. (Please note this requires participation in our required league fundraiser with payment up front for fundraiser tickets – You earn your money back as soon as you sell the tickets).

Something that sets us apart from other leagues is our desire to teach age appropriate skills. For our younger players we offer a split program. Our 7 yr olds (6 yr old, if skilled) compete in our Pinto level 1 which is coach pitch baseball. This level is for entering players or those who have never played baseball before as long as they do not turn 9 prior to May 1, 2010. Next is our Pinto level 2, which is player pitch. We introduce the mechanics of pitching while the players do not have to deal with base stealing and lead-offs as they do in our Mustang level. We feel this offers a more concentrated effort at teaching proper pitching form. This level is for our returning 7yr olds and 8 yr olds.

Next up is the Mustang level for 9 and 10yr olds where we introduce lead offs and base stealing giving our catchers and pitchers a further opportunity for challenge. Once our players reach 11 yrs old and enter the Bronco Division – it’s full on baseball rules and 70-ft base paths and they really have fun!

We also offer a full-time travel division representing Romeoville Pony Baseball. Five teams under the Romeoville Rattlers title, age levels 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and age level 14

Come check us out at our Open House in early January and see what all the fun is about. Come and be a part of one of the most progressive baseball programs around!
