Woodridge, IL is conveniently located in the Darien/Downers Grove Area, 2 miles North of the I-355 and I-55 interchange. Once exiting off I-355 our fields are within a 3 minute drive.
During the 2022 PONY International Board of Directors meeting, a decision was reached to change the date for determining player eligibility from August 31 back to April 30.
Since many surrounding towns are following the PONY age cutoff rule and this affects our involvement in the shared leagues, the WAA Board has voted to change the age cutoff in order to be consistent with the baseball programs in the area. The rule change will take effect at the start of the 2023 WAA Baseball season.
The PONY decision was reached after careful consideration of input from leagues, parents, coaches and other sources important in the decision-making process.
Please use our age calculator to determine your players age level for the 2024 season.
