The info for that product says it needs a T-mount adapter, which is not supplied.

A T-mount adapter has a standardized mount on one side and a camera-specific mount on the other.

I can't speak to the optical quality you will get, but you will need to manually focus the lens.

Thank you! My daughter plays sports and I was looking for a reasonable starter camera and lens to begin with. The one that came with it was no good for long distance.

Also focus confirmation will be dicey at F/8. With a converter, focus confirmation will be impossible at f/16.

Much depends on your budget, and how far away the activities will be from you. I would suggest something in the range of 70-300mm, which on crop-sensor body would have an equivalent Field of View (would behave like a lens) of 112-480mm.   Canon Make several EF 70-300mm lenses (avoid the 75-300mm lenses, they're awful).  Any of the EF 70-300 lenses would be a good choice see my article on this 70-300 Canon Lenses In-Depth Analysis - Canon Community
If the action is quite a distance away, you could also consider a Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM which would have a FoV of 160-640mm.

Thank you. It is softball in the outfield, so it's a good distance from where the spectators sit. About 230 feet.

I would go for the Sigma if it is within your budget. You may find a good used one at a camera store or on line.

If you really want to get up close then the Sigma 150- 600 contemporary lens will do that. It's a great optic and lots of folks are selling them as they get lenses for mirrorless bodies.

The Ultimaxx shows up at $99 on Amazon along with a bunch of extra goodies. You get what you pay for. In my opinion even all the stuff that’s included isn’t worth 99 dollars. 
I'm willing to bet you would get a higher quality image by cropping the image you get with your Canon lens than with that one. Any of the lenses recommended by Trevor would be good. The 150-600 is a beast of a lens. Hard to handhold. I can strongly endorse the Canon 70-300 USM II lens. The new AI tools like Topaz Photo AI are good tools for improving/upscaling digital images.
