The Brickyard Catchers Development Program
Our catchers development program is designed from the bottom up. We take our young athletes from the basic elements of the receiving process all the way through the game calling skill sets. We are opening our private group sessions up for the first time and we welcome your young catcher to join us. Our goal is to get catchers prepared to compete at the highest level in the league their in and develop them for the future teams they are looking to play for.
