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
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.
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.

Total Team Fee = $1200
This fee covers uniforms for the Spring 2023 season, including 2 jerseys, a hat, socks, belt, and dry-fit practice shirt.
Tournaments are not the focus of this team. However, it is possible we will play in 1-3 local tournaments over the course of the 6-month commitment period. Players will be expected to pay the entry fee of any tournament divided by the number of the players on the team.
