Help Team Philippines Compete in the 2025 Softball Pony World Series!

Hi, my name is Nelsa Delagente, and I am the pitching coach for the 14U and 16U softball teams representing the Philippines at the 2025 International Pony World Series, taking place on July 16–20, 2025, in McAllen, Texas.

I’m reaching out with a heartfelt request for your support to help make this dream come true—not just for me, but for the incredibly hardworking and talented young athletes who will proudly represent our nation on the global stage.

These girls are more than just softball players. They are shining examples of the values deeply rooted in Filipino culture: hard work, discipline, determination, and resilience. Most of our players are coming directly from the Philippines, with a few joining us from California—Filipino-Americans excited to represent their roots and heritage in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

For these two teams representing the Philippines, the Pony World Series isn't just any tournament. It’s a gateway—an opportunity to open doors that could change their lives and the lives of their families. It’s a way to make their mark on the world, to be seen, and to prove that passion and perseverance can overcome even the biggest challenges.

The Softball Pony World Series is an internationally recognized tournament that brings together the best young talent from around the world. This event is more than just competition; it’s a chance for these girls to:

Showcase their skills on a global stage

Represent their culture and national pride

Build lifelong friendships through camaraderie and cultural exchange

Gain invaluable experiences and life lessons both on and off the field

However, traveling from the Philippines to Texas is a significant financial undertaking. Your generous donation will help cover travel, lodging, uniforms, equipment, and other essential expenses that make this journey possible.

Every contribution—big or small—brings us one step closer to McAllen, Texas. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page to help us spread the word.

Together, let’s support these amazing athletes as they chase their dreams and carry the Filipino flag with pride.

Maraming salamat po for your kindness and support!

With gratitude,

Coach Nelsa Delagente
