Since 1972, Mira Mesa Youth Baseball (MMYB) has operated as a non-profit youth benefit corporation ran completely by volunteer parents. We provide a safe atmosphere for teaching the game of baseball for kids ages 3-14, in or around Mira Mesa, Carmel Valley, Carmel Mountain, Poway, Rancho Penasquitos, Rancho Bernardo, Scripps Ranch and other surrounding communities.
PONY baseball is different than other youth baseball leagues in many ways. The rules of play are designed to maximize player development and minimize change of injury. Players are placed into divisions by age in two-year intervals so that kids are competing with others their same age.
Most importantly, players are introduced to more advanced rules at younger ages, so they are challenged with new baseball concepts as they grow. Pitching, stealing bases, and other complete game elements are introduced at an earlier age.
PONY Baseball rules are the same as the Official Rules of Major League Baseball, the fields the children play on are appropriately sized for their level of play.
Huge shout out to Jason Polk for maintaining the league's website and email while the league took a break.
