If you have any questions or concerns about registration for the upcoming season, please visit the Board of Directors page and contact the appropriate Commissioner for your Division.
High Point Pony maintains a philosophy where players are strongly encouraged to play in their age appropriate division each season. We believe this best benefits all players in our program.
A player wanting to play up in the next Division may be considered only if they are within 1 year (age-wise) from playing in that Division. Parents wishing to have their child play “up” into an older age group should send a request via email to our League President (Click to email) after registering their child in their age appropriate division.
The player will need to attend evaluations for both their age appropriate division and the division they are wanting to play up in. The High Point Pony Board of Directors and the commissioners of both divisions will discuss the request and make a final determination. Playing up in the Fall does not guarantee approval to play up in the Spring. The player will have to re-evaluate.
At High Point Pony we move players up to their next Division in the Fall that precedes the Spring that they are required to move up by Pony rules. This method follows the school calendar — a player starts a new grade in the Fall and similarly starts a new Division in the Fall.
We do this because the Fall season is a less competitive atmosphere and it offers more time for training and development, to learn the rules of the new Division, and to become accustomed to the larger field.
