Play Hard - Play Smart - Play Together
Pony Boys Basketball Club, Inc.
Mission
To function as an ongoing structure in order to provide 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade boys attending Stillwater Area Schools with an opportunity to participate in highly competitive basketball games and practices.
Operating Values
On and Off Court Behavior of Players, Coaches & Parents
Good citizenship and respectful treatment of all stakeholders-players, coaches, parents and officials-will be stressed.
Relationship to Stillwater Area Varsity Program
PBBCI is a supplementary program to the public school basketball program. As such, it is PBBCI’s desire to provide additional competitive playing opportunities. It is not PBBCI’s mission to replace or substitute for a boy’s participation in the public school program. PBBCI exists to provide additional competitive opportunities in response to the “traveling” programs being offered in other areas without falling into the trap of making traveling basketball an end unto itself.
Fundraising
Parents of players participating in PBBCI’s program will be expected to take an active role in raising money to support both their sons’ involvement and the ongoing PBBCI program.
Scholarships
Scholarships for Registration Fees are available upon request. Requests will be reviewed by the board before being awarded. To make request contact PBBCI board by clicking here.
