Kirkland Pony Baseball tryouts continue this week
Tryouts are already under way, but there is still time to register for the upcoming season of Kirkland Pony Baseball.
Players ages 13-18 who live in and around the Lake Washington School District are eligible to play. But you have to act fast. Complete information can be found at http://www.kirklandbaseball.org.
Fees start at $275 for a 25-game season. Select programs often cost more than 10 times that amount.
A major selling point for the program is its home field, beautiful Lee Johnson Field at Peter Kirk Park.

Colt (ages 15-16)
Palomino (ages 17-18)
The Pony division offers two levels: Olympic, which is more competitive and requires a tryout, and Cascade. In addition, there is a more competitive level for 13-year-olds called Pony 13. Pony teams play on a field with 80-foot basepaths rather than the full-sized 90 feet, easing the transition from the smaller Little League diamond.
Tryouts have started, and teams will be formed by Feb. 15.
