Fastball USA
Un-like most Academys in the world Fasball USA;
# 1 Is a members only Training Center
We don't offer non-member rates or options
# 2 New students need to apply for possible enrollment or acceptance to the program
# 3 Potential new students must also meet with the Fastball USA staff to do an initial evaluation - interview to be considered for the program
# 4 Talent is Not the main area to be accepted to our Training Center. We are simply looking for young athletes with the true passion for the game and burning desire to improve their current situation (regardless of what that situation is)
# 5 Sponsorship and Being Referred can seriously increase the possbilities of being accepted to our University.
# 6 Your initial evaluation will also help us determine what type of program outline is best for your personal needs. The goal is to determine what is holding you back the most, and what you are already doing well. We will set initial short term and long term goals for those accepted, and review every 3-6 months.
# 7 Your progress is objectively Measured
Un-like most Academy's Fastball USA University program focused on "results" by objectively measuring your progress. Areas of mechanics are results focused by measuring velocity, distance, ball flight, command, control, timing. Plus several more physical measurements for strength, speed, coordination, timing, flexibility, agility, coordination, core strength, and explosiveness.
# 8 We develop the entire player as an athlete
Our programs focus on becoming a much more explosive player. This means in addition to skill training our focus in on improving all areas of strength and explosiveness. Our program is one of the top throwing and hitting speed programs in the nation.
# 9 Backward Chaining Concepts
Once used to train Olympic Athletes in Russia, we now use this concept for baseball and softball quite successfully. Most instruction today is forward movements. Our research has showed you can improve movements easier by beginning at the most important part and working backwards. This unique training has shortened the learning curve for students and made progress happen much quicker.
# 10 Overall we are developing baseball - softball athletes. The best athletes in the world can throw harder, farther, hit harder, farther, than anyone else.
# 11 Private Lessons are generally reserved for our beginning students not our advanced students. Unless someone is struggling at something specific, our intense group programs allow for great players to work and train with other great players. Passionate students work with other passionate students. The results are athletes learn from each other, and get better because of it.
# 12 Experiment/Risk/Rewards
Our philosophy is simple: If you are willing to experiment and try different things, if your willing to fail, and have the desire to get back up, then you will succeed. Our program promotes risk, experimentation, and are not afraid of failure. We want to develop aggressive players who don't fear the strike out, or walking a batter. This philosophy has led to our students becoming some of the best area players leading to scholarships and professional baseball.
Those who play at the highest levels can hit harder, throw harder, and run faster than anyone else.
STOP! If your looking for quick fix, don't bother.
Our students have achieved out of the ordinary improvement mainly because they have believed in our program and have worked like crazy to improve. No magic bullets, no tricks, just working hard and working smart.
Our staff of professional trainers, focus on being experts at guidance, and allow for all types of styles to work within our universal system.
If your a parent that wants success more than your athlete, please don't bother. The passion in the student is what makes our program special. Players who have the passion need be around others who also have the passion.
