Menifee Pony’s Filly (3-5 year olds) program is designed for our youngest players to learn the basic skills of baseball using specially designed (level-1) safety baseball. All players play and the entire roster bats each inning. Scores and standings are not kept and every child receives a trophy or medal at the end of our program. Coaches may allow some players to hit against coach-pitching in the second half of the season, as each player becomes ready for it. We strongly recommend 6 year olds to play in the Shetland Division, even for first-time players. First time 5 year-old players are recommend to play the Filly division. NOTE: The system is set to only allow 4 year olds to register to Filly, but if you want your 5 year old then just contact us at [email protected]

Menifee Pony’s Shetland (4-6 year olds) program is the introduction to competitive yet fun baseball, while continuing the steps of advancement in skills development. Shetland players will hit off of machine pitching (the Blue Flame, approx 24mph), allowing them to learn to hit a consistent pitched ball at a young age. A specially designed (level-5) safety ball is used in this division. Playoffs and all-stars (in spring season) all begin at the Shetland Division. Returning 5 year-olds are recommended to play the Shetland division. New and returning 6 year olds are all recommended to play the Shetland Division. If you do still want your 5 or 6 year old to play in Filly (t-ball) please contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will make the adjustment for you.

The Machine-Pitch Pinto division is our division for 6-7 year old players. Just like Kid-Pitch Pinto, players play on 60 foot base paths. Instead of batters hitting off of kid-pitchers though, they will hit off of a Jugs MVP Pitching Machine set to an approximate speed of 37-40mpb. Base stealing is not allowed in Machine-Pitch, and there are a couple other small differences, but it's a great opportunity for young players to gain more confidence and work on their hitting fundamentals before going up to bat against live kid-pitchers. Scores, standings (in spring) and playoffs are included in this division.  

NOTE: A 7 year old can also "assess up" if you feel he's ready for the Kid-Pitch Division. If you wish to do this with your child, he must assess at both levels (machine-pitch and kid-pitch) to be considered for the kid-pitch division. If he misses either one, he will be automatically placed in Machine-Pitch. You will need to register for Machine-Pitch and then contact the Player Agent to make sure you're placed on both Assessment lists. 

Menifee Pony’s Pinto program is a kid-pitch division for 7-8 year olds. Players play on 60 foot base paths and pitch from 40 feet. There are no "walks", at ball-4 batters instead receive pitches from their coach. Base stealing is allowed at this level once the pitch crosses the plate. Bunting is not allowed. Scores (in spring season), standings (in spring season) and playoffs are included in this division.  

Menifee Pony’s Mustang program is for 8-10 year olds, and marks the start of players playing The COMPLETE Game of baseball. At this level, kids play on 60-foot base paths and pitch from 46 feet. Holding runners, balks, leading off, base stealing and bunting are all part of the game.

Menifee Pony’s Bronco program is for 10-12 year olds. At this level, kids play on 70-foot base paths and pitch from 50 feet. They play the complete game of baseball under major league, PONY league and local league rules. 

Menifee Pony’s PONY program is for 12-15 year olds. At this level, kids play on 80-foot base paths and pitch from 54 feet, bridging the gap from the younger divisions to high school baseball and making it very popular among players who wish to play in high school. 

Menifee Pony's Colt/Palomino division creates teams with high school players ranging in age from 16 to 19.  Menifee Pony plays in a highly competitive 10+ team Colt league with teams from Temecula and Murrieta.  MLB rules and MLB regulation field dimensions are used.  Unlike other divisions, the Colt league is even more popular in the fall season when high school ball players are able to join, creating even more teams and a very high level of competition.
