PLAYER LEAGUE AGE:
To determine which division your player belongs to, check out the official PONY Baseball League Age Key
here
(Note: the league’s registration system will direct you to the correct division based on the entered birth date).
ASSESSMENTS:
Mandatory player skills assessments will take place in February, see
Assessment Policies for details.
PLAYING UP:
Several parents have asked about Playing Up (that is, trying out for a division higher than would be age correct for your player). While we discourage playing up - safety, maturity, leadership, etc - it is not prohibited.
Please register for your age-appropriate division, select “play up” field within registration process, and then plan to attend the play-up division assessment. Coaches and staff running that session will determine whether playing up would make sense for your player. If there is a difference in the division fee you paid vs the “play up” division you will receive an invoice for the difference once a decision is made if the player is able to play up.
FIELDS:
We're excited to again host most of our Shetland, Pinto and Mustang practices and games at Risdon Middle School this year. Other practices and games at these ages are held at Sierra Heights Elementary and Coalfield Park. Older teams will have practices and home games at Kennydale Lions Park, Highlands Park, Coalfield Park or Petrovitsky Park, depending on the division.
There will be a Field Day scheduled for late February before practices start in March 2024. There is some work to be done to make these fields playable after the long offseason. If you are available and willing to help, please let us know.
VOLUNTEERS / COACHING:
As you know, Newcastle Baseball is dependent on its parents who volunteer to help in many areas. One of our biggest needs is for Coaches. If you have any interest in helping as a Head or Assistant Coach, at any level, you can volunteer as a coach in our Registration process. We will get in touch with Coaches in January. If you have any questions reach out to [email protected].
Further, if you're interested in helping with the growth and success of the League, we have needs for league volunteers and Board members. We are excited about the coming season and look forward to seeing everyone at the ballpark again this Spring.
