Tustin PONY Baseball Association

At this age we introduce leading off and stealing. Games are played on a 60-foot diamond with 44-foot pitching distance.

This is the first introduction to pro style baseball. At this level, the basic fundamentals of the game are further reinforced and refined. This is also the first time the kids are exposed to leading off and stealing bases, pick-offs, and dropped third strikes.
These new concepts are incorporated throughout the season. Each third of the season we teach a new concept to the players to increase their awareness and knowledge of the game. Teams practice and play 3-4 times per week. Games are 6 innings long, or a two- hour time limit, whichever comes first.
