Alliance Division (SIBA) - Team Registration 

FOR FULL TEAM REGISTRATION ONLY

Only basic team information will be collected at this point.  

After team registration fee has been paid and confirmed the team will be given info to have each player individually registered into our system (this is required for waivers, insurance, etc) by his/her parent/guardian.

TEAM REGISTRATION PAYMENT IS DUE UPON COMPLETION OF THIS FORM, UNLESS OTHER ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE WITH MENIFEE PONY

TEAM & MANAGER INFORMATION - This is all required information.  It's recommended you put two phone numbers if you have them, to make sure we can reach you.  You won't be contacted by phone unless it's important (last-minute schedule changes, for example).  

California Youth Protection Law (AB-506) requires that adult volunteers of youth programs meet certain requirements, which include a LiveScan background check, and a Child Abuse Mandated Court Reporter Training course certificate of completion. State law also requires coaches to complete a Concussion Certification Course. Teams playing in the Menifee Pony SIBA/Alliance division are formed, pay fees, set rules and policy completely outside of Menifee Pony and it is their responsibility to comply to these state laws, not the responsibility of Menifee Pony to monitor and enforce them.

The person completing this form is assuming responsibility for understanding the above laws and making sure this teams volunteers meet those requirements.  

By checking the box below you are acknowledging that you understand and agree to this statement.

DIVISION/AGES - Team ages are based on Pony & USSSA date-ranges, which is how old they are exactly on April 30. 

TEAM RESIDENCY INFORMATION - MINIMUM REQUIRED MENIFEE RESIDENCY IS 75% (3/4 of roster).   66% (2/3) will be considered if space is still available.  This is important to the league, and has an impact on the field allocation we get from the cities parks departments.  If we suspect that a team has too many non-residents, or we are just not familiar with the team and players, we reserve the right to require proof of address be submitted.  FALSIFIED/INCORRECT INFORMATION COULD LEAD TO REMOVAL FROM LEAGUE (no refunds would be given for this reason).

TEAM ROSTERS - You must start team registration with a minimum of 11 players and a maximum of 15.  Due to league insurance requirements, as well as SIBA rules, players not reported to the Alliance Director and players not registered at menifeepony.com will not be permitted to play in any Menifee Pony Alliance/SIBA games.  If non-registered players are found to be playing in your SIBA games you may be disqualified from post-season play or even the entire remainder of the season (no refunds would be given for this reason).

ALL-STARS (Spring Season Only): If your team is interested in participating as a Menifee Pony All-Star team...PONY All-Star rules require minimum roster size of 12 and a maximum roster size of 15 players.  Players registered to our rec divisions are not eligible to play with your team during All-Stars.  Players must be in the proper Pony Rules age-ranges for All-Stars at the level the team is entering. Teams must pay their own entry fees, which are approximately $350-400. 

PLAYING IN BOTH MPB REC & ALLIANCE - Players cannot play in both Rec and Alliance (SIBA) divisions within Menifee Pony during any one season.  The season is considered to start on our leagues first Rec Player Assessments and end on the last day of Rec playoffs in the fall season, and the end of Pony All-Stars in the spring season.  Any possible exceptions to these rules are listed in Section 16 of our Local Rules found on MENIFEEPONY.COM.  RECRUITING REC PLAYERS AT OR AFTER REC ASSESSMENTS IS NOT ALLOWED and will result in penalties that may include suspension of player(s), coach(s), parent(s) or even the entire team for any duration the MPB Board of Directors feels is appropriate.  No refund will be given as a result of any missed games or practices that resulted from these penalties.  

Alliance/SIBA Division Details

If we have enough teams for an age group (8U, 9U, 10U, etc.) we will form a division based on that specific age.  For any age we don't have enough to form a division, we will combine and form them based on Pony Divisions (10U/Mustang, 12U/Bronco, 14U/Pony).  

8U-15U:

• 11 Monday-Thursday (rarely Mondays) games (regular-season plus playoffs) scheduled, at least 10 games guaranteed (unless your team cancels/misses games). 
• 1 M-F practice per week.  We will make every attempt and work with you to get you an agreeable practice time/day/field but there are no guarantees.  Spring practices are for 18 weeks, from the first full week of February thru the first week of June.  Fall practices are for 16 weeks, from mid-August thru the first week of December.  
• We will attempt to reschedule rained out or otherwise canceled practices due to circumstances beyond our control, but there are no guarantees for practice time.  
• We will attempt to reschedule any missed games.  If fewer than the guaranteed amount of games are played we will refund for games under that amount.  The refunded amount will be prorated based on the total of practices and games scheduled.  
• 8u Pinto-KP practices are 1.5 hours (1 hour of dirt).  All other divisions are 2-hour practices (1.5 hours of dirt)
• Alliance teams use same field sharing method our rec teams do.  First half hour may by on outfield grass while another team uses the infield, and last half hour may have a team using the outfield grass while you're using the infield
• Teams may not share their practice fields with non-MPB teams.
• Unregistered players can not practice or play on your team while you are using a field or game as part of our season and this registration. 
• Games scheduled on weekdays, typically between Tuesday and Thursday. Sometimes it may be necessary to schedule a Monday game, or even a Friday one, but this would be coordinated with the team
• One umpire is planned for regular season games, and two umpires for playoff games (when available)
• Games to begin approximately the 2nd week of February (8U could be a couple weeks later) in spring, and the 2nd week of September in fall
• Spring season playoffs typically begin late-May (if weather permits)
• Fall season playoffs typically begin the week of or after Thanksgiving.  
• Special scheduling accommodations might be possible but are not guaranteed
• If you miss/cancel a scheduled game, it's likely that you will simply lose that game and we will attempt to find another team to replace you in it.
• Accommodations may be made for teams participating in a Wednesday night BLD season, but proof of BLD participation must be provided at least one week before the games begin

GAMES - 11 regular-season games will be scheduled but only 10 guaranteed.  We will make every attempt to reschedule any canceled games (up to 11) but only 10 are guaranteed.  An end-of-season tournament is also guaranteed. 

Please check the box below to acknowledge that you're read, understand and agree to the above statement.  This is required to register with MPB's Alliance/SIBA program.  

PRACTICES - 1 practice per week is scheduled for 18 weeks (16 in fall) but there is no guarantee on any of these practices in cases of circumstances beyond our control (rainouts, park closures, etc).  We will make every effort to reschedule any canceled practice but that may include weekends and/or other times and locations, though we will try to work with you on this.  Practice times/days for any practice is not guaranteed, but we will make every effort to work with you to be reasonably accommodating.  

We will not schedule you practices until payment has been made.  If you register/pay after we've already started scheduling practices, those practices will simply be missed with no rescheduling later.  For example, our spring practices will start in mid-January but if you don't register/pay until February 1 you will simply miss out on the January practices without any change in rate or rescheduling of those practices.
