League Boundaries

LA-MV welcomes players from any city in our Regular Season and Club Teams.

Boundaries only become an issue for those players who want to retain their eligibility to play in PONY-sanctioned, post-season “All-Star” tournaments. The PONY Baseball national organization requires players in its tournaments to play regular season ball in the league where they live.

For players whose league age is 5 to 9 (Shetland, Pinto, and Mustang-1 Divisions):

Players from any city are free to play with LA-MV, without limitations. Our league does not participate in PONY-sanctioned tournaments at this age, so there is no issue with eligibility.

For players whose league age is 10 to 12 (Mustang-2 and Bronco Divisions) who want to retain eligibility for PONY-sanctioned tournaments:

Players living in Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Mountain View, or Palo Alto must register with LA-MV.
Players living in Sunnyvale must register with Lakewood PONY Baseball.
Players living in North Cupertino (Northwest of DeAnza Blvd/McClellan Rd) must register with LA-MV. This generally includes players who attend Montclaire and Garden Gate elementary schools.

For players whose league age is 13 or 14 (Pony Division) who want to retain eligibility for PONY-sanctioned tournaments:

Players living in Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Mountain View, or Palo Alto must register with LA-MV.
Players living in Sunnyvale may register with either LA-MV or Santa Clara PONY Baseball.
Players living in Cupertino must register with Campbell PONY Baseball.

For players whose league age is 15 or 16 (Colt Division) who want to retain eligibility for PONY-sanctioned tournaments:

Players may register with any PONY League in the same county where they reside. LA-MV is in Santa Clara County.

For players whose league age is 17 to 19 (Palomino Division) who want to retain eligibility for All Stars:

Players living in Northern California may register with any PONY League in Northern California.
