New for the 2009 season!!!

Romeoville Pony will not issue helmets to teams for batting this season. Each player is responsible to provide their own batting helmet (NOCSAE approved). We will have them for sale at registrations if you need to purchase one or you can purchase one at your local sports store.

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 2009 we will have full/part time traveling teams from 9U 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 2009 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, 2009. 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!
