The Temecula Youth Baseball league was incorporated in 1993 and is a member of PONY Baseball Inc. This year marks the 30th year the league has been active in the area, and with the success of incorporating recreation divisions, travel ball divisions and special needs divisions, they have seen their share of success.
Like many others, though, they had to endure tough times when the COVID-19 pandemic altered lives globally. As they celebrate 30 years of being an affluent part of the local community, and despite the recent bouts of rain, the season finally got underway last week for youth players ranging from ages 4 through 18.
In the PONY Baseball program, each individual league acts as its own governing body. As a result, Temecula Youth Baseball is allowed to set its own rules, standards and systems to meet the needs of its members. TYB believes that the fields should grow with the player, and that the game of baseball cannot be played as it was intended if the physical capability of the players does not match the physical achievements required for the game.
As a result, Temecula Youth Baseball scales the size of the diamonds to match the physical capabilities of the players within each division. Feel free to share your photos with Valley News, just like the Shetland Dodgers did last week, by sending info to sports@reedermedia.com.
