2023 REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN! -
Whittier Pony is ready for Spring 2023!! - We are looking forward to kicking off our 2023 season! Some new things are coming to Whittier
Pony this spring. In addition to our always strong Fall and Spring programs, this year we will be
phasing in a new WPB Select Program.
Whittier Pony Baseball has always been and continues to be, a strong competitive youth
recreational baseball league providing a solid foundation for our players as they begin their
baseball careers. By introducing our WPB Select Program, we hope this new avenue provides
more opportunities for our young players within our Whittier Pony Baseball community.
Our website is currently being updated but visit our WPB Select tab on our website for
additional information, it will be updated soon. We will be having open tryouts for WPB Select
starting this week please refer to our website for specific dates and details. Registration is NOT
necessary to tryout. Selection of Select players is at the discretion of the Manager (Head Coach)
and Board of Directors. Teams will be formed by the end of November, well in advance of our
Spring season.
While we are all part of Whittier Pony, our WPB Select program will run for 9 months and most
games will be played in Irvine representing Whittier Pony.
SPRING SEASON
Our traditional Spring Registration opens on Thursday 11/3 and we are looking forward to
seeing all our families very soon! Player evaluations for Spring will be held in January 2023.
If you are interested in being a Team Manager (Head Coach) for our Spring season, please contact
us today at whittierponybaseball@gmail.com.
Opening Day is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, March 4, 2023.
Do you plan to have your player tryout for WPB Select but worried about your Spring
registration?
You have two options, you may wait to register for Spring until Select teams are announced, or
you can register choosing the payment plan option. We will make the changes accordingly.
Player cannot participate in both programs simultaneously. There will be a separate registration
for our WPB Select Program. WPB Select fees will be greater than our Spring fees, Select fees
TBA.
INFORMATION OPPORTUNITIES
If you have questions regarding any of the programs, we will have an informational table next
to the snack shack on Saturday 11/5 and Saturday 11/12 to answer any questions 9am-12pm
both days.
Thank you and we are looking forward to a great year!
