How to Register

Ready to sign up a ballplayer? Don't know where to begin? Read below and you'll see how easy this can be...

Step 1: Create an Account

On the top right of your screen, you will see a REGISTER button. PG PONY's platform, Sports Connect, starts with a parent/guardian account. You will create your account and then add your player(s). 

Step 2: Add the Player(s)

Once you have your adult account, click on the Add Player button. Make sure their information is accurate, especially their date of birth, since that will determine which division they are eligible for.

Step 3: Select Available Program

Once your Player is in your account, you should see a blue button about "Program Available". Click that button to register the player for the available program. Sometimes there might be more than one program available. Most girls will choose the softball program but not all. If you have any questions about which program to choose, read the League Details page or Contact Us.

Step 4: Complete Registration for Player(s)

The system will guide you through the registration questions for each player. This includes collecting information such as current school, uniform preferences, medical insurance information, and more. The final step is to pay the registration fee via credit card.

Step 5: Await Email from League for Next Steps

Once registration closes, the volunteer Board and Coaches go to work to figure out teams, player evaluations, practice schedules, etc. You can continue to check the website for more information, monitor your email for key communications, and get your player ready to take the field.
