“It’s been fantastic to see the success of our Pony Girls programs in recent years, and we are pleased to once again offer dedicated development opportunities to our junior girls, helping to prepare them for adult women’s baseball,“ BWA Participation Manager David Hayes said. “We can’t wait for Pony Girls League and Futures to start later this year as we plan for a big summer of baseball.”Pony Girls League
The BWA Pony Youth Girls Baseball League (PGL) will offer all females of League Age 13 to 16 the opportunity to play in a “league of their own” (age cutoff of 31 August 2024). 17 year-olds who are not registered with a club are also encouraged to participate. Games will commence in mid-November and conclude prior to Easter.Pony Girls League provides teenage girls with a competitive game environment to compete, participate and develop. Whilst winning and losing is part of any league, this program focuses primarily on individual enjoyment and improvement.
Our 2023/24 Pathway Clubs include Willetton, Kelmscott, Braves, Kalamunda, Carine, Wanneroo and Morley.
PROGRAM COST: $150 – includes program cap, playing tee, usage of Empire Ballpark and equipment. Clubs may add their own fee to cover club costs such as game balls and umpires, etc.
Pony Girls Futures
The Baseball WA Futures (PGF) is an ideal way for female players to grow and develop their skills in an all-girl environment. The program is for female athletes aged 10 through 13 years old. 9-year-olds not otherwise playing baseball are also encouraged to register. This season, Futures will run for the same period as League, with a mid-November start and finishing before Easter.
Game scores are not kept allowing coaches to put players in positions to gain valuable experience that girls often miss out on if only playing Saturday juniors – including pitching, catching and key infield positions. We highly recommend this program to girls playing junior baseball, girls coming out of or currently playing tee-ball or softball, and girls who have not played diamond sports before or have not played for some years.
Our 2023/24 Pathway Clubs and regions include West (Carine), North-East (Wanneroo, Morley), South-West (Braves, Willetton), and South-East (Kalamunda, Kelmscott).
PROGRAM COST: $150 – includes program cap, think.again training tee, usage of uniform top, payment to team coach, usage of Empire Ballpark and equipment. Clubs may add their own fee to cover club costs such as game balls and umpires, etc.
