season's upcoming program.
Mandatory Tryouts
will be conducted at Ernie Howlett Park on Hawthorne Boulevard in Rolling Hills
Estates on the following date and time:
Saturday, January 21, 2012 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM and 12:45 PM to 2:00 PM.

following weekend on Saturday,January 28, 2012
Our season is tentatively scheduled to begin on Saturday, March 3, 2012 and end
on June 9, 2012.
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 $675/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.
Last season we were able to replace the 19 year
old scoreboard at Howlett due to the generous contributions received.
New this season…
we will have field banners at our Howlett field displayed all season long for
everyone in the park to see. Size is 3’ high by 5’ long with white lettering on
a green background and the cost is only $375.00.What a great way to advertise
your business!
Please contact
Lee Frantz at 375-8192 for additional information.
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.
We look forward to having you join us for the 2012 baseball season!
