Fall Ball 2025
The Maple Valley PONY Fall Ball Program is designed with emphasis on training, development and fundamentals of the game. Players who participate in Fall Ball are often looking to improve and build skills by taking advantage of the extra repetitions. Fall Ball is also highly encouraged for players who finished their second year of a division in spring and will play in a new division the following spring. In Fall Ball players will have the opportunity to play in their new division, often with longer base paths and pitching distances and gain an advantage to bring into Spring Season.
Fall Ball will run from 8/18/25-10/11/25.
Games will begin and happen only on Saturdays 9/8/25-10/11/25
Feature Day 10/11/23 (All Division)
Shetland, Pony, and all of Fastpitch will be a two-step registration process. Initial registration will be free, and then an email with the registration fee will be sent out if we have enough players to form multiple teams. This reduces refunds if teams can't be fulfilled
Practice Days:
Shetland / Mustang (Monday & Wednesday & Saturday, sometimes Friday)
Pinto / Bronco / Pony (Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday, sometime Friday)
Each player will receive a hat and jersey
