Baseball "And Under" age classification:
Grand Ledge Youth Baseball has adopted a slightly modified version of PONY Baseball's AND UNDER age classification as a local rule. This rule change will now allow younger players the option to play up one level so that they can play baseball with their classmates if they desire. This is an option only, not a requirement. In order to "play up," a player must be within one (1) year of the age group per PONY age definitions and the player must be grade-level appropriate, as follows:
Division |
Team |
Age as of 4/30/24 |
Grade as of 4/30/24 |
Mustang |
9u |
9 |
3rd grade |
10u |
10 |
4th grade |
Bronco |
11u |
11 |
5th grade |
12u |
12 |
6th grade |
Pony |
13u |
13 |
7th grade |
14u |
14 |
8th grade |
NOTE: The age level at which a player registers will be his required age level for that entire season.
