PONY™ Baseball and Softball and the Loudoun County Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services (PRCS) are pleased to announce that they have entered into a three-year agreement to hold the PONY™ Nationals Fastpitch Softball Tournament in Loudoun County.
The county hosted this tournament for eleven consecutive years before the event was moved to Cary and Raleigh, North Carolina in 2007. Loudoun will host the 16U and 18U divisions in 2013, the 10U, 12U and 14U divisions in 2014, and the 16U and 18U divisions in 2015. The tournament will draw over 100 teams for an estimated 250 games over six days in August of each year.
“PONY’s decision to bring this tournament back home to Loudoun was based on the county’s quality facilities, our ability to maintain fields at the highest standards and, most importantly, our experience hosting successful large national events,” summarized PRCS Sports Division Manager Dave Carver. Games will be played on a total of 31 fields located at Phillip A. Bolen Memorial Park, Potomack Lakes Sportsplex, Edgar Tillet Park, Trialside Park, Brambleton Park, and Claude Moore Park.
