Quickball 1

Children league age 4 to 5 typically play Beginners Quickball. New players of league age 6 may find this to be a good fit as well. Quickball is a faster game appropriate for players of this age group. Young players must be able to follow directions and be willing to participate. This is a training ground for our youngest players. For more info, see this presentation. Coed.

Quickball 2
|
6-7
|
Quickball Level 2 will continue the progression of Quickball Level 1. The first half of the season will focus on the same principles and techniques of Quickball while the second half will shift focus to traditional baseball with safety baseballs, gloves, metal bats, and helmets. Coaches will pitch from a short distance and players will learn some of the fundamental rules of baseball. For players who were enrolled in the Rookies division in 2023, we recommend playing Sluggers in 2024 (or “A” Softball). 7 year-olds who have played two years of Quickball are also encouraged to play Sluggers (or "A" Softball).
