SPRING 2023 REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED, BUT WE ARE ACCEPTING LATE ADD PLAYERS IN 10U & 12U
FALL REGISTRATION WILL OPEN IN JUNE 2023
Spring is the Primary Baseball Season for Ojai Valley Baseball League (OVBL). Boys and Girls, ages 3-14, from all over the Ojai Valley are invited to play. There is no experience necessary. Everyone makes a team and everyone is guaranteed playing time. We focus on developing people and athletes. Our mantra is "Process over Results". If we teach good fundamentals, good effort, and good sportsmanship then we have already achieved success and the victories on the field will come. You have no idea how fun and rewarding youth baseball can be until you have tried PONY Baseball at OVBL.
Registration will remain open through January 15, 2023. Teams will be announced by January 22, 2023.
Opening Day is scheduled for March 4, 2023. We will host our traditional Open Day Ceremony with all the teams and parents, lots of food and entertainment, and some honored guests. The highlight is the human tunnel for our T-Ball and Shetland teams, and showing off all the shiny new uniforms. The main season runs from March through mid June. All Star Tournaments and Playoffs follow the main season, typically running through the month of June and into July.
