The baseball clubs AHC Quick en SC Badhoevedorp (SCB) have joined forces to support their youth teams. This collaboration as been initiated a few years ago and is being intensified year over year. Most of our youth teams consist of a mix of players from Quick and from SCB. It could be the case that one year a team plays is home games at Quick and in a Quick outfit. The other year it would be at SCB in an SCB outfit. Step by step we will reduce the difference between the two clubs.
What does a baseball player or a softball player doing in winter time? We continue practice and play Baseball5! For the winter practice Quick will rent a number of indoor sport facilities in Amsterdam in the months of Junuary up and until March. Youth teams already start their indoor practice from mid-November. Additionally we have a Baseball5 competition for Quick members.
