Pop Toss for Park District Programs

Here is a great way to get enrollment back up in youth baseball and softball.  Youth baseball and softball loosecountless members to other sports because they get hit by pitchers who aren’t quite ready to pitch in games.  The hitters get frustrated at themselves when they are not ready to hit live pitching because they have not learned the proper techniques to hit a moving ball.  The games for these post Tee-Ball leagues are littered with walks and hit batters and become boring to parents, coaches, and most of all the kids who just want to hit and play in a fast paced game. Too much pressure too early helps create a situation where the majority of young baseball and softball players quit and find a sport that’s faster paced and comes with less pressure.  This is why Soccer is the biggest youth sport in America, because it’s fast paced and has limited pressure on the kids, they are free to have fun and just play the game.

Pop Toss Inc. is currently working with some local Park Districts to start Pop Toss leagues for 8 and 9 year olds.  With kids actually being able to hit in a game it keeps runners on the base and quickens up the pace for short attention spans.  While the games are going on pitchers can still field their position and continue to progress with their location and technique outside of games so they are ready to pitch to live hitters in a couple of years.

The Pop Toss can also be used for indoor 5 on 5 or 6 on 6 leagues using a foam ball.  This allows the young players to develop those infield fundamentals while keeping the game fast paced for those short attention spans.  With the foam ball Pop Toss leagues the action stays on the infield and hitters are getting on base, running and having fun, while the fielders are being kept busy and honing their skills and fundamentals on defense.

At Pop Toss Inc. we believe the national pastime is being hurt by losing kids early who never have the chance to reach their full potential.  By working with us your Park District can help keep the game alive and enrollment up.

Pop Toss Inc. is now involved in sponsoring Home Run Derbies for Slow-Pitch Softball.  We have had wonderful feedback on organizing these events for adult leagues.  With the Pop Toss there is no need for a pitcher and hitters get consistent strikes to hit.  Contact us for more information.

Pop Toss Inc. is also willing to help with Fund-Raisers for your leagues.  If you allow us to set up a booth at a tournament we would be able to give you 10% of all sales made.  Contact us for more information.
