THE CLOUDS ARE PARTING AND BASEBALL IS STARTING!
- GREAT NEWS! We will begin tryouts on Tuesday, Jan. 22, at York Field! The fields have been opened to us sooner than expected. We have revised things to squeeze in as many tryouts as as we can to get caught up. We apologize for the changes, but this will accommodate many more of us. Please be flexible with our new schedules and double check time slots. Anyone who misses a Tuesday slot must attend Saturday's finishing tryouts.
*Raffle Ticket Booklets - Tickets will be available for pick up at all tryouts. Anyone who hasn’t picked up your tickets, please stop by during our scheduled events. Please have your registration receipt available for quicker service. *Shetland parents: This is your opportunity to get your tickets before Team Announcements on Feb. 2
Tryout Schedules – Time slot is based on players first initial of last name. Players should bring their baseball equipment and warm up their arms before their tryout. Tryout numbers will be pinned on players. Please return numbers after tryout.
- ALL PLAYERS MUST TRYOUT IN PINTO, MUSTANG & BRONCO - All tryouts will be at York Field.
All fully registered players will be placed on a team. Tryouts are for our coaches. Coaches will evaluate players for our team draft. Our tryout/evaluations are meant to keep team parody. Any player who misses tryouts will be placed on a team as a lottery pick. Freezes must tryout out.
Also, if a player has an injury or illness and cannot tryout, please contact Glenn Costello at: playeragent@whittierpony.org

UMPIRES WANTED! We need more baseball people to go into game officiating! - There is a shortage of youth baseball umpires. If interested, please contact us at: playeragent@whittierpony.org
Another disappearing act of baseball is the lack of interest in umpiring/officiating youth sports. Throughout Southern California youth officials from all sports are retiring and they are not being replaced by our younger folks. Some of this is due to our stronger economy - but a lot of this is due to the "over the top" badgering by parents, relatives and coaches. Reminder: This year, and every year, please be mindful and keep your comments positive and in perspective. Bad behavior by a few is truly affecting us all. Having respect for umpires is a cornerstone of youth sports and this should and will be readdressed to all players, coaches & parents every season.

2019 PONY BASEBALL HAS REMOVED ALL RESIDENCE BOUNDARY LIMITS
- Pass the word that Whittier Pony will continue to grow, as we welcome more players to our program. Now any player living in Southern California can join Whittier Pony Baseball. Parents can be assured of joining a nationally recognized program with competitive baseball at all ages, 4-14 yrs. No need to travel from week to week, lose complete weekends and absorb the cost of tournament & parent coaching fees.
We also give our elite players the baseball opportunity of a lifetime to play against top players from the United States, as well as international competition at the Bronco & Pony Super Regions, West Zone & International Pony-13 World Series held at York Field every summer.
For additional information on this and more, we'll have our "Walk in Registration" at York Field, this Saturday, from 9am-1pm
