Nassau, Bahamas - This summer, players from PONY (Protect Our Nation’s Youth) Baseball Bahamas took part in the Caribbean Zone World Series Qualifying Tournaments thanks to donations from corporate sponsors like Domino’s Bahamas.

 The local franchise contributed $3000 to the overall costs for 60 players and 12 coaches to make trips to Aruba, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico for various games. At the tournaments, young players saw how their skills stacked up to regional counterparts as they vied for a spot in the PONY World Series.

Started 14 years ago, PONY Baseball Bahamas continues to be an avenue for players to receive athletic college scholarships and serves as a path to professional sports contracts. Kids learn the fundamentals of baseball in a safe, wholesome and competitive environment focused on teamwork, sportsmanship and community service.
