Pony League World Series announces partnership with Dick’s Sporting Goods
The Printscape Pony League World Series, one of youth baseball’s most celebrated international tournaments, has added Dick’s Sporting Goods as the presenting sponsor and official sporting goods retailer.
This partnership aligns two organizations with roots in Southwestern Pennsylvania who are committed to supporting youth sports. Dick’s Sporting Goods, a leading U.S. based sporting goods retailer, brings its long-standing commitment to youth athletics to the World Series, which will be held Aug. 8-13 at Lew Hays Pony Field in Washington Park. The field will include 10 teams.
“At Dick’s, supporting youth sports is at the heart of what we do,” said Mark Rooks, VP of Creative, Sponsorships & Entertainment at Dick’s. “With this partnership, it’s an honor to help create opportunities for these players to grow, compete and be part of something bigger than themselves. We’re looking forward to another season of incredible play.”
Dick’s Sporting Goods will enhance the fan and player experience via on-site activation while supporting tournament operations and outreach initiatives. The sponsorship will also be visible through a mixture of physical and digital assets associated with the event, including signage, television and livestreaming elements, and social media.
“We have enjoyed a great historical relationship with Dick’s Sporting Goods and are excited for our partnership with them,” said Nathan Voytek, World Series President & Chairman. “Their dedication to youth sports and strong ties to the Pittsburgh community make them a vital partner in our efforts to grow the tournament and elevate the experience for both players and fans.”
