mpb alliance (SIBA) division
Menifee Pony’s Alliance Division is part of the Southwest Interleague Baseball Alliance (SIBA) league and is intended to provide a higher level of competition within our program while retaining the same level of sportsmanship expected in youth sports. This division allows for pre-formed teams from 8u thru 14u to join the league and coexist with “recreational” (rec) division teams. They play games in a division consisting of only other SIBA teams, they do not play against teams from Menifee Pony 's regular ("recreational") divisions.

REQUIREMENTS
Pre-formed 8u thru 14u teams with a MENIFEE RESIDENCY OF 75% or more will have first chance to register. Pre-formed teams with 66% (2/3) residency or more may be considered (additional requirements may apply).
Every team in the Alliance division will be expected to adhere to all Menifee Pony policies and codes of conduct. Teams will also be expected to fulfill any field prep obligations. Teams must remain in good standing (all players/team must adhere to all Menifee Pony policies, including financial requirements) to be on the game or practice schedule.
TEAM REGISTRATION
Registration fees for teams in the Menifee PONY Alliance division will be “per team” and based on a 12 to 15 player roster. Registration fees are based on the option selected on the team registration form (at bottom of this page), and all options include regular season games and a postseason tournament, and in the spring season a chance to represent Menifee PONY in the All-Stars. Registration fees for the Alliance division do not include uniforms, teams will provide their own.
PLAYER REGISTRATION
There are no individual player fees in Alliance but each player is required to be registered by their parent/guardian once their teams registration has been approved and paid. This individual player registration is necessary for league liability and insurance reasons and no player can play on any MPB team without a completed registration in our system for the current season.
DUAL PLAYER REGISTRATION
Menifee Pony players may play in both the Alliance and the Rec divisions concurrently only under the following rules:
GAME SCHEDULE
The Alliance season will begin and end on approximately the same dates as the rec season. Teams will be scheduled one game per week (on average) for 11 weeks. MPB's Alliance Registration includes a guaranteed 10 regular-season games, plus a post-season tournament to conclude the season. Opponents will be other SIBA teams from Menifee and surrounding cities. Games include one umpire for regular season games in 8u thru 10u, two umpires in 11u & Up (when available). Two umpires for playoff games (when available).
PRACTICE SCHEDULE
Practices for Alliance teams will begin approximately the same date as the rec season and conclude approximately one week after the rec season ends. 17-18 practices will be scheduled. Additional practice time may be available at times for an extra fee.
DIVISION RULES
Menifee Pony Alliance teams are part of the Southwest Interleague Baseball Division (SIBA) and will play by the SIBA Local Rules.
ALL-STARS
There will be one All-star team in each Alliance division based on age. (ie: one 9U team, one 10U team, etc.). This will be offered to the top Menifee Pony team from the end-of-season tournament (team must be in good standing - all players/team must adhere to all Menifee Pony policies, including financial requirements). Residency requirements for Pony Baseball All-Stars are only that a player must reside in Riverside Country to be eligible. The team must still be within the requirements of Menifee Pony and Pony Baseball/Softball rules. Depending upon division size, additional teams may be invited to participate.
In an effort to keep regular season registration fees lower for each Alliance team, all-star teams must pay their own entry fees (approximately $300-$350). All-star teams will also pay for their own uniforms and Menifee Pony may require any or all parts of those uniforms to match the Menifee Pony rec All-Star team uniforms.
Once the manager and each player agrees to represent the league, he must complete the all-star season until eliminated. The penalty for failure to comply will be one-year suspension from the league.

DUAL PLAYER REGISTRATION
Menifee Pony players may play in both the Alliance and the Rec divisions concurrently only under the following rules:
- Player registration requirement: Players must be properly registered in the Menifee Pony system for both the Rec and Alliance teams.
- Rec games come first: A player’s commitment to their Rec team is top priority, meaning they can’t skip Rec games for any practice or game in the Alliance division.
- Pitch-count limits: Parents and coaches must be mindful of the combined pitch count across both teams to prevent overuse injuries.
- All-Star eligibility: A player can only be eligible for All-Star selection for one team, based on which team they registered for first.
- Consequences for violations: The MPB Board can suspend players from either or both divisions if any these rules are violated.
