Softball Australia’s endorsed junior participation program, Softball Batter Up, is a multi-session program primarily for children aged 4 - 12 years of age. The program is offered to all school grades, introducing participants to the fundamental skills of softball through a variety of modified games and activities to ensure maximum participation and enjoyment.

Based on the Playing for Life philosophy, Softball Batter Up is a fun program for kids who have never played softball before. The program helps students improve their physical fitness, mental alertness and develop social skills by meeting other students and building a sense of belonging, responsibility, loyalty and teamwork through sport.
