We offer baseball and softball for kids ages 4-14 in the Spring every year at our 2-field complex located at 700 S. Mary Street and at other area organizations with whom we interlock. We follow PONY Organization rules. Depending on the number of teams in the 8U, 10U, and 12U programs, travel to other cities may be required.

We are a 501(c)4 non-profit organization. Our Board Members and Coaches serve you and maintain the complex on a 100% volunteer basis.

Coach Pitch and Kid Pitch Softball and Baseball will play 2 games a week. The days and times are TBD. The season is currently scheduled to begin the week of March 24. Please know that this is a recreational league where everyone makes the team and receives playing time. Depending on the number of teams in each division, there is a possibility that teams travel to other cities, including Crowley, Fort Worth, Godley, Evermon, and Joshua for games. Since the Arlington Optimist Club is affiliated with the PONY organizations, we schedule 12 games a season (coach pitch and kid pitch) to make everyone eligible for All-Star postseason play. The goal of our organization is to have enough teams to play all our games here in Arlington. However, we also understand that if we only have a few teams, then it becomes daunting to play the same teams over and over, which is why we will partner with other area PONY organizations to increase the diversity of play. 

For our Coach Pitch and Kid Pitch teams, there will be some opportunities throughout the season to complete a mid-season tournament and playoffs. After the season starts in June 2025, Post-season tournament play for All Stars will be available through PONY Organization for baseball and softball in coach pitch and kid pitch according to Arlington Optimist Club rules as established by league directors and coaches.
