MVP Home

Maple Valley PONY is very excited about the opportunity to offer this level of baseball to Maple Valley and surrounding communities. The goal of the MVP Baseball Tournament program is to offer players an opportunity to participate in a next level of play.

Tryouts

All players interested in playing on a MVP Tournament Team must register and attend tryouts. Registration for tryouts opens each year in June with actual tryout dates scheduled for mid-July. 

Teams

MVP Baseball forms one team in each of the 8U, 9U, 10U, 11U, 12U, 13U, and 14U divisions as long as coaching staff is available. Each team will consist of 11-13 players selected by tournament team coaches and select Maple Valley PONY board members. Teams will only be fielded if coaches and Maple Valley PONY board feel that a competitive tournament team at each age group can be assembled.

Cost

Full program fees are determined prior to the opening of tryout registration. There is no cost to register for tryouts. Players selected for a MVP Tournament Team will be required to pay a non-refundable deposit upon accepting their position to the team. Payment for the remaining balance can be completed at the same time or through a scheduled payment plan set by the Maple Valley PONY board.

Player uniforms, tournament fees, umpire fees, and training (as outlined below) are included in the full program fee. Additional costs related to travel expenses are the responsibility of each player.

Training

Training is planned to begin in August based on field/facility availability. Team practices will be scheduled for 3 to 5 days per week with the exact days to be determined by each Head Coach.

League & Tournament Play

Tournament play can begin in January and run through July. The goal of the MVP Baseball Program is for each team to possibly play “at least 6-10 tournaments” depending on availability. Tournaments selected could be in Western/Eastern Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Arizona, California, Texas, and Las Vegas. Additional states may be added depending on team.

MVP Tournament Teams in divisions 10U and older could be registered to play in a local Select league but is at the discretion of each team.
