BreakThrew Fastpitch Summer Development Program

This program is designed to connect what your athlete does before, during, and after the in-person event:

PRE-EVENT ACTIVITIES:

We will kick things off with a Zoom call on Sunday, 8/2 to walk through the program and explain the short assignments to complete at home before the event.

THE EVENT: 3 Days of In-Person Training (15 Hours Total)

Your athlete will receive 15 hours of instruction focused on:

• mechanics and power development (pitchers)
• spin and pitch development (pitchers)
• throwing, receiving, blocking, framing (catchers)
• command/game-day application
• mindset, routines, & body language
• pitcher/catcher connection & communication
• competitive drills and challenges

To ensure quality instruction and individual attention, the instructor-to-athlete ratio will not exceed 1:8.

Event Schedule

We’ll wrap up Friday with a fun, relaxed social time (5:00–6:00 PM) where athletes can connect, take photos, spend time with their coaches, and enjoy the experience together as we kick off the weekend.

Saturday, August 8
9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
(Lunch on your own from 12:00–1:00 PM)

Sunday, August 9
8:00 AM – 12:00 PM

POST-EVENT FOLLOW-UP

We will reconnect with a Zoom call on Monday, 8/10 to review what to expect over the next 3 weeks and how to continue building at home. Your athlete will receive:

• an evaluation from their camp coach with key take aways
• a guided follow-up plan with at-home workouts

This program is open to any and all pitchers and catchers ages 8–18.

It is a great fit for athletes who:

• want help understanding what to work on and how to structure their training at home
• are ready to take more ownership of their development
• want to feel more confident and in control when they compete
• would benefit from structure, support, and accountability
• enjoy being challenged in a competitive and encouraging environment
• are willing to work and learn outside of camp

OUR GOAL - To help your athlete leave this program:

• more confident in her abilities
• more clear on what to work on
• better able to structure her training at home
• and understanding how small, consistent actions lead to real improvement over time

Spots are limited to keep groups small and ensure each athlete receives quality instruction and support!

Each athlete will also receive:

• a BreakThrew Fastpitch t-shirt
• a team bracelet
• a training journal to use during the event and to continue building at home

Myndie Berka, BreakThrew Fastpitch Owner, will serve as the lead instructor for pitching

Amy Tudor, Head Softball Coach at Western Kentucky University, will serve as the lead instructor for catching

Current college softball players and BreakThrew Fastpitch alumni will assist throughout the event as group coaches

Stay tuned for additional instructors to be announced over the next few weeks!

No refunds will be given once payment is made/confirmed in camp. If something causes you to be unable to attend, you will be given a credit to use towards another training opportunity with BreakThrew Fastpitch.

You will receive a confirmation email from PayPal as soon as your payment is submitted. This is your confirmation that your registration form was received.

The BreakThrew Summer Training Experience will kick off with a Zoom call on Monday, 8/2. An email with a link to join the call and other important information will be sent approximately 2 weeks prior to the event.

We are VERY excited to get to be a part of your daughter's training this summer. I'll be in touch with more information soon!
