OUR HISTORY. OUR HEAT.

ROOTED IN THE QC.
BUILT ON BASEBALL.

Quad City Heat began as a baseball academy in the fall of 2003. Founded by Derek Lingle, the organization grew around a shared purpose: helping young athletes become better ballplayers and stronger people.

From the early Heat fields in Davenport to tournament diamonds across the region, our story has been shaped by dedicated coaches, supportive families, and players who love the game.

Learning, fundamentals, leadership, teamwork, and sportsmanship remain at the heart of the Heat.
