Protect Our Nations Youth

[gameused]

I wanted to post some pics of the Kauai All Star Team from the island of Kauai. I'm the head coach(top row-far left) and we recently competed in the state Pony all star tournament held in Hilo, Hawaii over the 4th of July weekend.

Pony stands for "Protect Our Nations Youth" and is a nationwide baseball organization. Our team did really well and finished in second place losing a heart breaker to the Mililani all star team from the island of Oahu 6-5. Mililani, will be heading to California to compete in the West Zone tournament.

Special thanks to UFC lightweight champ B.J. Penn who took time out of his busy schedule to speak to the team and take pictures at his awesome training center in Hilo.

Thanks, Bobby

Bobby - Congrats to you and your team! What age group is your team?

If your team is 14, our kids are working their way through the East Coast in qualifying tournaments to make it to the 14U World Series in Arizona at the end of July! Maybe we will face that Miliani team!
