PONY Baseball and Softball

PONY Baseball and Softball™ began with organization of the Pony League in Washington, Pennsylvania in the winter of 1951. This was a transition league for 13-year-old and 14-year-old players designed to take graduates of Little League baseball from that diamond to a regulation size diamond. Growth of Pony League, primarily by word of mouth, was rapid, and by the end of the second season, 1952, the original six teams in Washington were joined by 505 others in 106 leagues around the country. A national tournament was conducted, and the first Pony League World Series was held that year.

Today PONY spans the globe in over 40 countries.  PONY has 8 Baseball World Series events and 3 Girls Softball World Series events held across the United States.  Those, in conjunction with countless tournament events, as well as regular PONY Baseball, PONY Girls Softball and PONY Champions league play make for countless memories for youth, parents, grandparents & relatives across the globe.
