When did the Quad City Heat start?The Quad City Heat was founded by the Lingle family in the fall of 2000 when they realized that there was a need for a different type of baseball in the Davenport area other than Little League for those players that were experienced and talented. A game that would let them play the real game against other good competition. The Quad City Heat has been the longest running and first competitive baseball organization in Davenport, Iowa. Where does the Quad City Heat play?During the week from the end of April to the end of June, the Heat plays two games during the week (Monday—Thursday), one game at one of our home fields in Davenport, and the other at the opposing teams home field, mainly in the Quad City Metro area. Occasionally games during the week are played in Muscatine or Clinton as teams are based out of there as well. For most weekend tournaments, the tournaments are played locally but some of our teams have played in tournaments in Des Moines, Chicago, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City just to name a few. Every team plays in the state tournament in Des Moines and may elect to go to nationals. Where does the Quad City Heat get their players?The teams in our organization are comprised of players from all over. We allow players from both Illinois and Iowa to play on our teams and players have come from as far as Muscatine, Iowa (30 miles) Maquoketa, Iowa (45 miles), Washington, Iowa (75 miles) Geneseo, Illinois (30 Miles) and Coleta, Illinois (70 miles). As you can see we are not limited to players just from a specific area and may have players from as far away as players and parents are willing to come get the Heat experience. Who does the Quad City Heat play?The Heat plays many different competitive teams from around the area such as the Quad City Hitmen, North Scott Lightning, Quad City A’s, Muscatine Baseball Academy, and the Barnstormer Baseball Club. They also get to play many teams from the surrounding Midwest at tournaments and teams from all over the nation at the national tournament. How do I become a part of the organization?If you want to bring in a whole team or just a player you may contact the president of the league with your name and more detailed information or if you would like to join a specific team then e-mail that coach with your detailed information. Or the third way to make it on a team is to join us at our yearly tryouts, held in August. We select the teams after tryouts but are always willing to look at more players and bring in teams to our organization. How many teams are there in the organization?We currently have 7 teams in the organization. The teams are ages 9&Under to 14&Under. The ages of the players currently in our organization range from 8 years to 14 years of age. All ages are based as of April 31st, 2009.
