What is the PONY Division:  The original PONY program, providing play for youngsters on a field with a 54' mound and an 80' base path. The players are presented with increased exposure to the finer points of the game.  Maltby Pony Baseball divides this level into two divisions:  Olympic (select) and Cascade (recreational)

Olympic division teams join the league as already assembled TEAMS.

Cascade division teams are selected just like our lower division teams (Bronco, Mustang, and Pinto); players register/sign-up as individuals via the registration link on this website, attend tryouts, and are assigned by the coaches to team(s).  Fees are paid at the time of registration to Maltby Pony Baseball via the website. 

Both Cascade and Olympic teams play inter-league schedules, which will require some travel to neighboring leagues for games.  Practice will begin in winter and teams will play a 30-35 game schedule ending in mid-June.

PONY 13U / 14U™ LEAGUE is the transition league that takes players from the "kid" leagues to "young adult" status. It permits a player to play on a diamond tailored to his size and capability rather than being moved to one with twice the playing area in a single year.  This division is specifically designed for the player in those very formative early-teen years. 

The vast majority of players of league age 13 simply do not belong on a full-size diamond. At the same time, they have outgrown the dimensions of the "kids baseball" diamonds used in BRONCO LEAGUE and other "12-and-under" programs.

The PONY division was founded for this very apparent reason. After becoming skillful players in the younger leagues, players in their early teens found themselves unable to compete, to play the game of baseball as it was intended to be played, on the regulation size diamond. 

PONY division players, play one of the most fascinating games in all of youth baseball. Well beyond the beginners stage, they have mastered all but the finest points of technique and strategy and can play the game with a skill comparable to that of older players, if you let them play it on a field specifically designed to match their physical limitations.
