Our Organization & Programs

Newcastle Baseball Club League (NBCL) provides recreational baseball divisions for youth aged 4-14, operating as a nonprofit volunteer-run league affiliated with PONY Baseball. Aligned with the PONY’s mission to "Protect Our Nation's Youth," we aim to provide experiences in youth baseball that will help young people grow into healthier and happier adults.

NBCL PONY Baseball teams practice and play home games in Newcastle and north-Renton. We have no league boundaries, but most players are from Newcastle, Renton, Issaquah and Bellevue. NBCL PONY Baseball provides the opportunity to play with and against your friends and not be preassigned to a league based on your home address or school.

NBCL PONY Baseball offers a more competitive level of baseball than non-PONY organizations at the same age groups. Games run from from late March until mid-June.
-- SHETLAND 6U (ages 4-6) division focuses totally on instruction of beginning players.
-- PINTO 8U (ages 7-8) division teaches the basic fundamentals of baseball.
-- MUSTANG 10U (ages 9-10) division begins the players’ training in the complete game of baseball.
-- BRONCO 12U (ages 11-12) and PONY 14U (ages 13-14) divisions take the developing young players into the full game of baseball, with no restrictions on base stealing.

All-Star team opportunities range from coach-pitch teams at 7U and 8U, and player-pitch teams from 8U through 14U. All-Star teams have the opportunity to play against both PONY All-Star teams and Select teams with approximately 12-20 games between mid-June and end-of-July.
