Walnut Select is a ‘travel like team’ with the Walnut Pony Leagues. The Select teams will travel to various cities to play other Select Teams outside of our league.

Select team players have an opportunity to play more competitive baseball against teams with a higher skill level.

No, the game and practice schedules will conflict. Players can join either a Select or Rec Team but not both.

The number of games in a season will vary. We strive for 50% of the games to be in Walnut, however, it will be up to field availability, umpire availability and possible rescheduled games due to adverse weather conditions.

Select games can be played during the week or weekends depending on team and field availability. Often games are played in a double header format where you will play the same team twice in one day. Select allows the teams to choose 3 byes where no games will be played.

Season officially starts on March 1-May 18. All teams will participate in playoffs. The total number of games for the season will depend upon how far your team goes in playoffs.

No, all players must remain in their PONY assigned age group.

Much like a travel team, play time will be up to the discretion of the coaching staff based on player ability, practice time, team commitment and effort.
