DCBA is re-aligning age divisions with PONY this year.  Refer to the PONY age keys (links below)*

Pinto (8U) Baseball & Softball (formerly Rookie)

* - For the Spring 2023 baseball season, your League Age is the age you will be on 8/31/2023.  For the Spring 2023 softball season, your League Age is the age you were on 12/31/2022.  Refer to the PONY Baseball League Age Key or PONY Girls Softball League Age Key.  All baseball divisions allow co-ed enrollment.

**  For the spring 2023 season, DCBA plans to offer the Pony 14U division for baseball, separate from the Colt 16U division.  This may result in inter-league game play with Colt teams from other PONY leagues for our 16U players.  Softball will remain a combined Pony/Colt 14U-16U division.

*** For the Fall 2023 baseball PONY has adjusted the date used to determine a player's age from August 31 to April 30.  (Softball is not impacted by this change).

Family Discounts
To make it easier for the entire family to play, DCBA will offer up to TWO free registrations when you pay for TWO registrations in full. Pay for the two oldest, and the two younger ones are free. Please contact [email protected] before you register for instructions on how to take advantage of this offer. 


Notes
1) Blue Sombrero is no longer owned by DICK'S Sporting Goods. It is now called Sports Connect. You will still be able to log on to your existing account, and most things will remain the same. The biggest difference is that Sports Connect will add a $3 fee to all online credit card transactions. NOTE: This $3 fee will be added to each payment if you do the payment plan. Sorry, this is beyond our control.

2) DCBA will follow all safety rules required by the City of Chesapeake, but each family is ultimately responsible for their own health. Please help us by following all posted rules and by staying home if you are sick. 

3) Spots are limited. Registration closes 2/28/2023.
