* Select teams are available in nearby towns for a higher registration fee with paid staff and administration. Please keep in mind Ponder PALs is a recreational league meant to introduce our youth to sports and develop a love of the game.
Important Update:
Due to the success and the greater competition offered by the nearby towns Ponder Pals will continue to partner with the recreational interlock of the surrounding towns of Sanger, Pilot Point, Tioga, Aubrey, Valley View and Era. This recreational interlock will allow these 7 towns to play each other and have a basketball season. Please understand this requires some travel for games. Also gym time for practice will be very limited as basketball has the largest number of teams and limited space available. We are opening practices back up this year but please be mindful and do not bring up extra siblings or family unless absolutely necessary as this is distracting for the player and coaches. We would still like to be mindful of Covid safety measures and parents please ensure that you are cleaning up behind yourself after practice. No trash left in the bleachers please.
