Shetland Tee Ball Baseball is for boys and girls 4, 5 and 6 years old who want to learn the fundamentals of hitting and fielding. In Shetland, players hit a ball off a batting tee. Rules of the game may be varied to accommodate the need for teaching. The primary goals of Shetland are to instruct children in the fundamentals of baseball and to allow them to experience the value of teamwork. Rosters may be composed of between 12 and 14 players. No live pitching is permitted in this division. Generally, the diamond used is a 50-foot diamond. |

The Pony Division is for players aged 13 and 14 and is best described as a transition program. It's the difference between kids baseball and young adult baseball.
It permits a player to play on a diamond tailored to his or her size and capability, rather than being moved to one with twice the playing area in a single year. Bases are set at 80-foot paths with a 54-foot pitching distance. The Pony Division is the baseball program specifically designed for the player in those very formative early teen years. Players league age 12 may request to play in the Pony Division.
A select number of Pony players are invited each season to participate in post-season “All Star” play.

Colt Division provides players an opportunity to play full regulation baseball, and is intended as an extension of a player's Junior Varsity High School experience. The diamond and pitching distance is the same size as high school, college, and professional baseball. High Point participates in an inter-locked league with teams from Greensboro. A 20+ game season starts after the end of the high-school season and concludes by mid July.
A select number of Colt players are invited each season to participate in post-season “All Star” play.

 In baseball, a home run is a hit in which the batter is able to circle all the bases, ending at home plate and scoring a run himself, with no errors by the defensive team on the play which result in the batter advancing for extra bases.(Wikipedia)
High Point Pony will post those homeruns that are hit over the outfield fence. This is a great honor and achievement for a baseball player.
