Baden Safety Softball

Built for young players just starting out, the Baden Safety Softball lets kids learn the fundamentals of softball safely. A softer Level 1 safety construction reduces the sting of catching and being hit by the ball, helping new athletes build confidence at the plate and in the field without the fear that a standard hardball can create. It's the ideal first ball for youth practices, PE introductions, and beginner leagues where developing proper technique matters more than game-speed feel.

Key features & specs:

• Level 1 safety softball with a softer, reduced-impact construction
• Optic yellow synthetic cover with red stitching
• 11" ball recommended for ages 6–10
• Available in sizes 10", 11", and 12"
• Helps beginners learn catching and fielding with confidence
• Not intended for competitive play

Coach's tip: use safety balls in the early weeks of a youth season to teach proper catching form and reduce flinching, then transition players to standard practice balls as their skills and confidence grow. Wipe the covers clean after use, let them dry at room temperature, and store them indoors away from heat to keep the synthetic surface intact.
