The Coach’s Dugout & Practice Planner

Running a Pony team is a management job: tight practices, a legal pitching plan, fair playing time, and a calm dugout on game day. This module turns each of those into a repeatable system, built on PONY rules, with the judgment calls flagged where programs honestly differ.

    How to read this manual

    Green Coaching Points are what to do, red Common Mistakes are what to avoid, and slate Alternative Considerations are the honest counter-arguments and places where leagues genuinely differ. Pitch-count and rest figures are quoted from the published PONY Baseball pitching rules; mandatory-play and substitution details vary by local rule, so verify them against your league’s adopted regulations.
