Softball Australia Endorsed Model – SOFTBALL BATTER UP

Softball Australia endorses and offers the Softball Batter Up (SBU) program through Sporting Schools. SBU has been developed in line with the Long Term Athlete Development Model, to introduce participants to the fundamental skills of softball through a variety of activities and games designed to develop physical fitness, social skills and an understanding of the game.

Softball Batter Up, is designed to be fun, flexible and engaging for children from kindergarten age to Year 6, focusing on fun activities while learning basic throwing, catching and batting skills.

A major feature of SBU is the excellent resources, which incorporate the Australian Sports Commission’s Play for Life activities. All games, drills, and skills must align with the Activity Cards developed specifically for the program to align with the national physical education curriculum.
