Parents,

Adam Martinez has graciously offered to be an Assistant Coach this year, and I would like to give all parents a chance to help out during the season. There are two slots available for each practice/game.  I'd love to see at least one of those slots filled for all events.

Thank you,

Brock Spencer

Hello my name is Brock Spencer and I will be coaching the Xplosion Team for the Pony Baseball Shetland Division. My five-year old son Michael will be playing on the team as well.  I’ve tried to reach out to most everyone on the team already via phone. I wanted to share some info so everyone can start planning. 

Practices

These are the practice dates and times.  Right now, I am expecting to have all practices at North Point Elementary School 2602 E. College Ave. Normal, IL.  We will likely be in a grassy area near the baseball field.  If the baseball field is empty, we will use it.  

• Tuesday May 3^rd at 5:30 pm – Meeting with parents first 10 minutes of practice.
• Tuesday May 10th at 5:30 pm
• Tuesday May 17^th at 5:30 pm
• Tuesday May 24^rd at 5:30 pm

Games

First game is Sunday May 29^th at 12:45 pm and the last game of the season is July 28^th.  Once the season starts, I likely won’t have additional practices since we have about 2 games each week. The schedule can be found on https://www.leagueathletics.com/Default.asp?org=mcponybaseball.com . All games are at the Pony Complex.

Team Pictures

Some other days to circle on your calendar would be May 14-15  (edit) Sunday June 5th.  This is picture weekend and eventually Pony will provide us with a day and time for our picture time slot.

Gear/Equipment

Your child will need to bring a glove and water bottle to practices and games. They will need to get a pair of baseball pants.  I would recommend white. Team shirts and hats have been ordered and we are hoping to have these by the first game. Your child can bring a baseball bat to practice if they want to but it’s not required.

Parent Volunteering

I would like to give all parents an opportunity to help with practices and games during the season.  I will create a sign-up genius and send-out to everyone so they can pick a time that works best for them.

Questions

Feel free to email me at or call/text my cell phone at (309) 287-6613.  This is my first-year coaching Pony so I will do my best to answer all questions or find the person that can.  I’m looking forward to having a fun summer on the field with everyone.
