Guam – PONY Baseball closed out its inaugural season with a weekend of LifeSkills Training and a banquet at the Pacific Star Resort in Tumon, recognizing and honoring this year’s participants and top performers.

The awards banquet highlighted a two-day LifeSkills Training workshop led by LifeSkills Trainer Liz Silva, for the PONY league players and coaches. The Guam Amateur Baseball Association is a member of the Prevention, Education and Community Empowerment, or PEACE, Partnership for success. Using the PEACE plan, Guam Amateur Baseball and the PONY league emphasize the importance of an alcohol- and tobacco-free lifestyle.

“We’re excited to continue to grow our GABA/PONY footprint in the important area of healthy youth sports activities,” said Bill Bennett, lead instructor with Guam Baseball Academy. “At GBA, we believe that sports matter and providing access to sports is a key priority for us. The recent affiliation of Guam PONY Baseball and Softball will help us to deliver an unparalleled quality experience for Guam youth baseball.”
