Bravara for PONY leagues
One player pool.Every age division.
Give the Player Agent one place for age-based divisions, evaluations, local selection rules, and the roster handoff that follows.
- Player Agent
- Two-year age bands
- Local selection method
Division ladderOne league, many levels
Age-awareGive coaches shared evaluation evidence in a local draft, or optimize balance automatically across the same player pool.
Keep ratings, eligibility context, assignments, and unassigned players visible in one workflow.
A flexible local process still needs a reliable system of record.
PONY puts team selection under a Player Agent while local organizations choose their process. Bravara is designed for that combination of oversight and flexibility.
- 01 · Structure
Set up the league’s real age divisions
Import birthdates, calculate league age around the configured cutoff, and map players into the PONY programs your league offers.
- 02 · Evaluate
Use baseball- or softball-specific scorecards
Score the stations and specialist categories your local program uses rather than forcing one generic athlete rating.
- 03 · Select
Run the local method under Player Agent oversight
Let every coach draft from the same player ranking, or let Team Builder optimize the whole division while preserving pre-assignments and relationship rules.
- 04 · Launch
Carry approved rosters into the season
Create the actual teams and their communication spaces, then schedule those teams against the league’s fields and availability.
Standardize the data. Keep local control of the method.
The page is specific about PONY’s age structure and Player Agent role without pretending every local league drafts the same way.
