Quickball: A Fun & Unique Introduction

Quickball is the fast-paced, active version of tee ball designed to keep young players engaged using coach-pitch, shorter games, and continuous action. It replaces the traditional batting tee with a coach pitching, emphasizes constant movement, skill-stations, and a less structured approach with no scores or standings—reducing pressure while maximizing fun.

Designed as a dynamic and positive introduction to baseball or softball for children aged 4–6.
