SpeedBall: The Innovative New Approach To Youth Baseball Is Coming To Tucson, Arizona

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TUCSON, Ariz., May 19, 2023 — Legends Baseball, an innovative provider of transformative youth baseball experiences, is delighted to announce the expansion of its franchise system to Tucson, Arizona. Highly regarded local youth coach, former local baseball star, and college athlete, Nick Thorne, along with his wife Sarah, have combined forces to introduce a unique new approach to youth baseball, bringing the Legends Speedball League to the community.

The inaugural season of the Legends Speedball League will take place this coming fall, transforming the landscape of youth baseball in Tucson. As an exciting alternative to the hypercompetitive travel ball culture, Speedball Leagues are designed to complement Little Leagues in their off-season. This unique approach mirrors the changes Major League Baseball is making, presenting fast-paced, action-packed games that keep kids actively involved. Featuring teams rotating from hitting to outfield to infield, every player is guaranteed 10-15 at-bats per game, with no one sitting on the bench.

“Speedball is not just a game, it’s an experience that is transforming and growing the game,” said Nick Thorne. “Our aim is to offer a holistic approach to youth baseball, focusing not only on skills on the field but also on character development off the field. The detailed life lesson curriculum that accompanies our Speedball League is designed to improve athletes in all areas of life.”

The Legends experience extends beyond traditional baseball activities, featuring engaging challenges, curated music playlists, unique swag, and exciting contests that extend beyond the season. Founded by David Klein, a nationally recognized baseball innovator and award-winning coach, the Legends franchise has received hundreds of 5-star reviews on Google and Yelp.

“We’re incredibly thrilled to bring the Legends Speedball League to Tucson,” said Nick Thorne. “With our unique baseball training, life skills curriculum, and the high-energy Speedball league, we’re offering a transformative and unforgettable playing  experience for the youth in our community.”
