Socal, whatever you do bro, just don't worry about the parents of the other teams. They aren't your responsibility. That's the best advice I can give.

When I was a kid Pony is what you played after Little Leagues Majors, now they call that level Juniors and Pony is a different sanction, like Babe Ruth, that is closer to real baseball than Little League is. The fields in Pony adjust by division where in Little League they play one sized field from age 8-13. The team I coach is a Bronco division team, 11 and 12 year olds, but I do have some 10 year olds and had to bring up my younger son who will be 10 this month, they lead off and steal like real baseball, the bases are 70 feet away instead of the 60 that they would be in Little League and the mound if 48 feet away instead of 45. In Little League, even in the majors, a base runner can not leave the base he is on until the pitch crosses the plate. Mustang is for 9 and 10 year olds and it too has leading off and stealing but the bases are 60 feet and the mound is 44 feet away.
In Pony the team travels to Tournaments to get to the World Series instead of all star teams like in Little League.

No, you just dogged them to the point that they quit.

Same difference, really.

one moved, one decided to play Little League instead and one shattered his wrist.
unless I signed the first up for Little League, made the others parents get divorced and pushed the third off of his skateboard, im not responsible for any of it
