CHINO HILLS PONY BASEBALL: President's Message
A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT...
Welcome to another season at Chino Hills Pony Baseball. Your Board of Directors are already operating in high gear preparing for the 2009 season. As we reflect back on the hard work in 2008, I would like to thank those volunteers who made it possible. We had a fantastic year in 2008, and I hope to repeat it and more in 2009.
We are proud to announce that the health and stability of our league has never been better. We have just purchased a new scoreboard for Community Park and will be conducting major improvements at Canyon Hills and Glen Meade with the assistance of the City of Chino Hills and Chino Valley Unified School District. We will continue to ensure that all fields will have the necessary equipment like hoses, rakes, chalk and other items to help the coaches and parents groom the fields properly.
Chino Hills Pony Baseball will continue to promote friendly, instructional and family oriented baseball experiences for all levels of play. Our goal is to make sure that your child has an enjoyable and memorable season and wants to continue to have fun playing baseball. It is our mission to "Protect Our Nation's Youth" ("PONY") by providing young people healthier and happier experiences in youth baseball in our City.
As you may not be aware, there are currently over 375 former/current Major League Baseball players who played PONY baseball. Mark McGuire, Tony Gwynn, Alex Rodriguez, J.T. Snow are just a few of the Major League players who participated in PONY. Football players such as Matt Lienart also participated and played PONY baseball.
This year we have made it a priority to work on a Parent/Coach Pledge as a way of committing to a fun and enjoyable season for the children of our league. Most importantly, this is a way to confirm your honor and commitment to the upcoming season as a parent or coach. That means that Chino Hills Pony Baseball will continue to work on teamwork, always trying to develop positive situations for children and demonstrating respect to yourself, children, coaches, other parents and umpires.
All of us at Chino Hills Pony Baseball are committed to providing the best baseball experience for everyone. Our league functions from the work of a great number of people who care about our league by donating countless hours of time. We are grateful for those who help out, and we are always looking for more people who are interested and who want to participate in such a meaningful organization. Please let me know if you would like to contribute in keeping Chino Hills Pony Baseball what it is today!
See you on the field!
Scott Wheeler
President, Chino Hills Pony Baseball
