That matters for younger softball players learning to stay in against faster pitching, and for experienced hitters taking a hundred swings in a session.

Sold by the dozen, these light green softballs give coaches and programs a full set of practice balls that help beginners build confidence at the plate and in the field without the sting and intimidation of a regulation softball. Kenko balls are a trusted choice for youth softball leagues, PE classes, and introductory softball programs around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSafe Introduction to Softball\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe biggest barrier for young softball players is fear of the ball. A regulation softball is hard, and getting hit by one can discourage beginners before they ever develop a love for the game. The Kenko 11-inch softball solves this problem with a soft construction that dramatically reduces the risk of injury on contact. Players can field grounders, catch fly balls, and take pitches with far less hesitation, which means they spend more time developing real softball skills instead of flinching away from the ball.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the Kenko softball is soft enough to catch barehanded, it works well for the youngest softball players who may not yet have properly fitted gloves or who are still learning basic catching mechanics. Coaches can run fielding drills and throwing exercises without worrying about jammed fingers or bruised palms, keeping practice sessions productive and positive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Youth Softball Training\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 11-inch diameter matches the standard softball size for younger age groups, so players get accustomed to tracking, catching, and hitting a correctly sized ball from the start. The light green color provides strong visibility against most backgrounds, making it easier for developing eyes to pick up the ball off the bat or out of a pitcher's hand. This visibility advantage is especially helpful during indoor softball practices in gyms or fieldhouses where lighting can be inconsistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its softer construction, the Kenko 11-inch softball holds its shape through repeated use. It performs consistently whether players are hitting it off a tee, fielding ground balls, or running throwing drills. The ball's weight and flight path give young softball players a realistic feel for the game while keeping the safety benefits that make it appropriate for beginners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDozen Quantity for Teams and Programs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuying by the dozen gives coaches and softball programs enough balls to run efficient practices without constant ball chasing. With twelve Kenko softballs available, coaches can set up multiple stations simultaneously. One group can work on tee hitting while another runs soft toss drills and a third practices fielding. This kind of station-based softball practice keeps all players active and engaged rather than standing in line waiting for a turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor youth softball leagues that use the Kenko ball during games, having a full dozen on hand means there are always fresh balls ready when one gets scuffed, lost, or waterlogged.

Young softball players learn to use two hands, get their bodies in front of the ball, and field with soft hands. Removing the glove forces players to focus on technique rather than relying on the glove to do the work, and the Kenko ball makes this drill completely safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIndoor Softball Practice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen weather pushes softball practice indoors, the Kenko ball is ideal. It won't damage gym floors, walls, or windows the way a regulation softball would. Coaches can run full batting practice off tees or with soft toss inside a gymnasium without the liability concerns that come with harder balls in enclosed spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTee Work for Beginners\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSetting up multiple batting tees with Kenko softballs lets every player get swings in simultaneously. Because the ball doesn't travel as far or as hard as a regulation softball, less space is needed between stations. A single gym or field can accommodate more hitters at once, maximizing the number of quality swings each player takes during a practice session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThrowing and Catching Fundamentals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYoung softball players learning to throw and catch benefit from a ball that doesn't punish mistakes.

While the Kenko ball matches regulation size, its softer construction means it does not meet the performance standards required for sanctioned competitive softball games at most levels. It is designed for training, recreational play, and introductory softball programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan kids catch this softball without a glove?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Kenko softball is soft enough for barehand catching, which makes it ideal for the youngest softball players who may not have gloves or who are still learning basic catching mechanics. Many coaches intentionally use it for barehand drills to teach proper technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this softball work for hitting off a tee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely. The Kenko 11-inch softball sits well on standard batting tees and provides good feedback for young hitters working on swing mechanics. It won't travel as far as a regulation softball, which is actually an advantage for indoor or space-limited batting practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow durable are Kenko softballs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKenko balls hold up well through normal use in youth softball training settings. They are designed for repeated hitting, throwing, and fielding. Like any training ball, they will eventually show wear from extended use, but a dozen should last a full season of regular practice for most youth softball programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this ball appropriate for coach-pitch softball leagues?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kenko 11-inch softball is a popular choice for introductory and coach-pitch softball leagues that prioritize player safety and confidence building.

Sold by the dozen, these Kenko balls weigh 5.3 ounces and measure 11 inches in circumference, matching the standard softball size for youth programs while offering a softer impact that builds confidence at the plate and in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKenko balls have earned a strong reputation among youth baseball and softball programs across the world, particularly in Japan where they originated as a safer alternative for developing players. The natural rubber construction means these balls compress on contact, significantly reducing the chance of injury during practice and games. For coaches working with young athletes who are still learning to track and catch fly balls or field grounders, the reduced sting factor keeps players engaged instead of flinching away from the ball.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Coaches Choose Kenko Rubber Softballs for Baseball and Softball Training\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional leather softballs hit hard. That is a simple fact that makes young or inexperienced players hesitant, and hesitation slows development. The Kenko 11-inch rubber softball solves this problem without changing the way the game is played. The ball looks and moves like a standard softball, so players develop real tracking skills, proper catching mechanics, and solid hitting fundamentals without the fear factor that comes with harder balls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe yellow color provides excellent visibility in all lighting conditions. Whether your baseball or softball team practices outdoors in bright sunlight, under field lights in the evening, or indoors in a gymnasium, the high-visibility yellow surface makes it easier for young players to pick up the ball out of the hand and off the bat. This visibility advantage is especially important for younger baseball and softball athletes who are still developing their visual tracking skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the Kenko rubber softball compresses on impact, it also reduces the damage to facilities and equipment. Coaches running indoor softball and baseball practice sessions in gyms, cafeterias, or multipurpose rooms can use these balls without worrying about denting walls, cracking windows, or damaging ceiling tiles. The softer impact also extends the life of nets, screens, and other training equipment that takes repeated hits during batting practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNatural Rubber Construction Built to Last\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe natural rubber surface on the Kenko 11-inch softball provides a consistent feel and grip across a wide range of temperatures and weather conditions. Unlike some synthetic rubber balls that harden in cold weather or become slippery when wet, natural rubber maintains its compression characteristics and surface texture throughout the season. This consistency means players get the same reliable bounce and response whether they are practicing in early spring chill or late summer heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rubber construction also makes these softballs extremely durable compared to leather alternatives. Leather softballs absorb moisture, develop flat spots, lose their shape, and eventually have their stitching come apart after repeated use. Kenko rubber softballs resist moisture absorption, maintain their round shape through thousands of hits and throws, and do not have stitching that can unravel. A dozen Kenko balls used in a youth softball or baseball program will typically outlast several dozen leather balls over the course of a season, making them a smart investment for programs watching their equipment budget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe seamless rubber surface eliminates the inconsistent bounces that come from balls with raised seams. When a Kenko ball hits the ground during fielding drills, it bounces true and predictable, which helps young baseball and softball players develop proper fielding fundamentals without fighting erratic hops caused by seam contact with the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIdeal Applications for Kenko 11-Inch Rubber Softballs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese Kenko softballs serve a wide range of training and game situations across baseball and softball programs at the youth level and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYouth Softball Leagues and Introductory Programs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany youth softball organizations use Kenko rubber balls for their youngest age divisions. The reduced impact gives new players the confidence to stand in the batter's box, attempt catches, and field ground balls without the intimidation factor of a hard leather softball. This confidence translates directly into faster skill development because players are willing to fully commit to each play rather than pulling away at the last moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIndoor Baseball and Softball Practice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen weather pushes practice indoors, the Kenko rubber softball lets teams run full batting practice and fielding drills in gyms and indoor facilities. The softer impact means coaches do not need specialized baseball or softball cages to contain the balls safely. Schools and recreation centers that restrict the use of hard balls in their facilities often approve rubber Kenko balls as an acceptable alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTee Ball and Coach Pitch Programs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the youngest baseball and softball participants in tee ball and coach pitch, the Kenko 11-inch ball provides the right combination of size, weight, and safety.

When a coach hits 50 or 100 ground balls in a session, the reduced impact on hands and body helps players maintain proper technique throughout the drill without accumulating the sting and bruising that comes from extended reps with hard balls. The consistent bounce also provides a controlled training environment where players can focus on footwork and glove positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePhysical Education and Recreation Programs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSchools and recreation departments that include softball in their physical education curriculum regularly choose Kenko rubber balls for safety reasons.

Many youth softball and baseball recreational leagues approve rubber balls for their youngest age divisions, but competitive leagues typically require leather softballs. Check with your league director to confirm whether Kenko rubber balls are approved for game use in your program. Regardless of game approval, these balls are excellent for practice in any softball or baseball program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the 11-inch Kenko compare to a standard leather softball?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kenko matches the 11-inch circumference of a standard youth softball and weighs 5.3 ounces, which is in the range of a regulation 11-inch softball. The primary difference is the natural rubber construction, which compresses more on impact than leather. This means the ball comes off the bat with slightly less velocity and causes significantly less sting on contact with the body or bare hands. The flight path and general behavior of the ball are similar enough that skills developed with the Kenko transfer directly to playing with leather softballs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan these be used with a pitching machine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRubber balls can be used with some pitching machines, but results vary depending on the machine type. Wheel-style pitching machines that grip the ball may not feed rubber softballs consistently due to the different surface texture compared to leather. Check your pitching machine manufacturer's recommendations for rubber ball compatibility before running them through your machine. For front toss, soft toss, and hand-fed batting practice, these balls work perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the yellow color fade over time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith extended use and UV exposure, some fading is normal, but the yellow pigment is integrated throughout the rubber material rather than applied as a surface coating. This means the balls remain highly visible even after significant use. The color will not chip or peel like painted surfaces because it is part of the rubber compound itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these good for indoor use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndoor use is one of the best applications for Kenko rubber softballs. The softer impact reduces the risk of damage to gym floors, walls, windows, and ceiling tiles. Many schools that prohibit hard baseballs and softballs indoors allow Kenko rubber balls as a safe alternative for baseball and softball practice in multipurpose spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat age group are these best for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 11-inch size is standard for youth softball players, typically ages 12 and under. However, these balls work well for any age group in practice and training settings. Beginning baseball and softball players of any age benefit from the reduced impact while learning fundamental skills, and experienced players can use them for high-volume repetition drills where reducing hand fatigue is a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kenko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51334076727611,"sku":"M01-KT11R-UR","price":168.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/4658\/8987\/files\/kenko-11-inch-yellow-natural-rubber-softball-dozen-1.jpg?v=1781231789"},{"product_id":"kenko-12-inch-softball-light-green-dozen","title":"KENKO 12 Softball - Light Green - Dozen","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kenko 12 Inch Softball in light green is a soft-construction training softball designed for safer play in youth softball programs, physical education classes, and recreational leagues. Sold by the dozen, these softballs give coaches and program directors a full set of practice balls that reduce the sting and injury risk associated with traditional leather softballs. Players who are new to softball or still building confidence around a batted or thrown ball benefit from the softer feel, which encourages proper mechanics without the flinch factor that harder balls can cause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Coaches Choose Kenko Softballs for Training\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKenko has built a reputation for producing reliable soft-core balls that hold up through repeated use while keeping safety at the forefront. The 12 inch size matches the regulation softball diameter used in fastpitch and slowpitch softball, so players train with a ball that feels right in their glove and off the bat. The light green color provides strong visibility against most backgrounds, making it easier for young softball players to track the ball during fielding drills, batting practice, and live game situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soft construction of the Kenko 12 inch softball is what sets it apart from standard practice softballs. When a player takes a bad hop to the chest or gets hit by a pitch, the reduced hardness means significantly less pain and a much lower chance of bruising or serious injury. This is especially important for youth softball players who are still learning to field ground balls, catch fly balls, and react to pitches in the strike zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePractical Applications for Softball Training\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese softballs work well across a wide range of softball training scenarios. Coaches running infield and outfield drills can hit or throw dozens of balls in rapid succession without worrying about players getting hurt during close-range repetitions. The soft construction also makes the Kenko 12 inch ball an excellent choice for front toss and soft toss drills where the feeder is positioned close to the hitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor batting practice, the Kenko softball gives hitters immediate feedback on contact quality. Solid line drives feel crisp off the bat, while mishits behave noticeably different, helping softball players develop a feel for the sweet spot. The ball tracks well through the air, so coaches can evaluate swing paths and contact points without wondering whether the ball flight is misleading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhysical education programs and recreational softball leagues also benefit from the Kenko 12 inch ball. In settings where participants have varying skill levels and experience, the reduced hardness creates a more inclusive environment. Players who might otherwise shy away from fielding positions or standing in the batter's box are more willing to engage when the ball does not carry the same injury risk as a regulation softball.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Volume Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSold by the dozen, this package provides enough softballs to run efficient softball practices without constant ball retrieval.

Having a full dozen on hand keeps practice moving and maximizes the number of repetitions softball players get in each session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kenko construction holds up well through extended use. While no training softball lasts forever under heavy volume, Kenko balls maintain their shape and softness longer than many alternatives in the soft-core category. Programs that go through a high volume of softball training sessions will find these balls offer a good balance between durability and cost when purchased by the dozen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLight Green Visibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe light green color is more than cosmetic. In outdoor softball practice, a brightly colored ball is easier to track against dirt infields, grass outfields, and overcast skies. For indoor training in gyms or batting cages, the green stands out against walls and netting. Young softball players who are still developing their tracking skills benefit from any visual advantage, and the light green Kenko softball delivers that without sacrificing any performance characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe distinct color also makes these balls easy to identify and separate from other equipment. Programs that use multiple ball types for different drills can quickly sort their Kenko softballs from regulation game balls, reducing confusion during practice setup and teardown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho the Kenko 12 Inch Softball Is For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYouth softball programs are the primary audience for the Kenko 12 inch ball. Players in the 6 to 12 age range who are learning fundamental skills like catching, throwing, fielding ground balls, and hitting all benefit from the reduced hardness. Travel softball teams can use these during warm-ups and skill development portions of practice before transitioning to regulation balls for game-speed work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhysical education teachers running softball units find the Kenko ball essential for managing safety across classes with mixed athletic abilities. Recreation departments organizing community softball leagues for younger age groups get a ball that keeps the game fun without the injury concerns that come with harder alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoaches working with players who are transitioning from tee ball or coach pitch into player-pitch softball will appreciate how the Kenko ball helps build confidence. A player who has been hit by a pitch or taken a bad hop is far more likely to stay engaged and keep developing when the ball does not carry the same sting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKenko 12\" Softball Light Green Dozen Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 12 inches (regulation softball diameter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Light green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Soft core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantity: 12 softballs per dozen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer Part Number: KT12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Kenko (distributed by Markwort)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach purchase includes one dozen (12) Kenko 12 inch light green softballs.

They are designed for training, practice, physical education, and recreational use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan these be used with a pitching machine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoft-core softballs may not feed consistently through all pitching machine models.

The soft construction also makes them suitable for adult recreational leagues and physical education programs where safety is a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow durable are Kenko softballs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKenko softballs hold up well through normal practice use including hitting, throwing, and fielding drills. Like all training softballs, they will eventually show wear from repeated bat contact and heavy use, but they maintain their shape and performance characteristics longer than many comparable soft-core options on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy light green instead of yellow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe light green color offers strong visibility in both indoor and outdoor softball training environments.

The ball follows a true, game-like flight, so a hitter can work on timing, pitch recognition and swing path against something that looks like a real pitch. If a ball rides in on the hands or bounces off an arm, it does not sting. That removes the reason young hitters pull their heads or step out, and lets them focus on the swing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same sting-free design makes these softballs useful for defensive work too.

Lite-Flite softballs use a firmer formula that keeps its shape even at high speeds, so the pitch the machine delivers on the fortieth ball of a round looks like the pitch it delivered on the first. That consistency is what lets a hitter trust what she is seeing and lets a coach work on one problem at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt for the JUGS Lite-Flite Machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese softballs are specifically designed for use in the JUGS Lite-Flite Pitching Machine, which throws fastballs, curves and sliders for both baseball and softball.
