Pony League Softball · Female Novice
Girls Softball for 2nd and 3rd Grades
- Player Fees
- Regular 150.0
The Pony League is for girls in our community who are in 2nd or 3rd grade as of January 1st. Even though the pitching is still done by parents at this level, this is where SYAC Girls Softball begins to become competitive.
Once
kids hit the Pony League, many of them may have already been to camp or met
kids who don't go to their schools and are thus not traumatized by being placed
on a team that could potentially be made up entirely of children they have
never met. At this age, we no longer honor requests to be with specific other
children, which, if you think about it a while, is really is a good thing. We
also do not honor requests for kids to be together for carpooling purposes (see FAQs page). At this level, SYAC Girls Softball
begins to focus more on the sport than on the social aspect of the game.
In
setting up teams for the Pony League, we work hard to create balanced teams,
rather than simply putting kids together with their friends, as we do when
they're in our Instructional League. At this age, we strongly discourage
parents from trying to get their children on the same teams as friends, for
whatever reason. This is a competitive league, and, as such, fairness is a key
to making it fun, and inclusive, for all kids. And in the course of playing a
season in SYAC, strangers always become friends.
