WHAT PLAYERS COMMIT TO

6 Months of Comprehensive Training and High Level Competition

The Sharks will begin training as a team in January and will play together through the end of June.  During these months, players will be expected to train/play 3-4 days a week.  All practices will take place in Huntington Beach or Fountain Valley.  Practices will focus on conditioning, mechanics, and efficient drills that will allow for maximum growth in our players.


Jan-Feb: Practices 3x per week


March-May: Practices 2x per week, Games 2x per week


June: All-Stars if eligible 

Spring 2023 Pony Select Team

The Sharks will submit as a 9U Pony Select Team for Spring 2023 and will play the full Spring Season as well as any All-Stars if eligible.  All players must age-qualify for Pony 9U (born 5/1/13 or later).  


Season play will include 15 games plus a single elimination playoff immediately following the conclusion of the season. Teams will play 1 weekday and 1 Saturday game per week.


*First games will start in Early March 2023

*Playoff games will be played mid May 2023

An Optional Additional 2 Months of Summer Baseball

After the primary 6-month commitment, Sharks players can opt to stay on the team for the Summer season (July and August) or do other sports or go elsewhere.

Minimal Tournaments

The Sharks is focused on training, player development, and high-level local play rather than distant tournaments.  This is not a travel ball club, and the team will not be traveling to Spring Training, Cooperstown, etc.  Foreseeable tournaments could include a Memorial Day tournament and the Pony All-Star Tournament if the team is eligible.

Head Coach: Art Kent

Art has been coaching baseball for 37 years, at both the youth (HVLL & FV Pony) and adult levels.  He also assisted as a high school baseball coach for 5 years.  He loves working with young ball players to help them achieve their full potential.
