What is the difference between LCYO and Encinitas Little League

Both LCYO and ENLL are excellent programs for young boys starting baseball. The key difference is the parent organization and a few minor rule differences. LCYO is a member of the Pony Organization system which adds more "major league" rules as the boys advance from T-ball to Pinto to Mustang to Bronco to Pony. ENLL is part of the Little League system which is somewhat more conservative in adding some of the major league rules regarding leading off, stealing, etc.
