Catching groups are a monthly, small-group program from our academy. Athletes train in groups of 10 to 16 with multiple catching instructors who caught at the Division I level. They’re open to baseball and fastpitch catchers near Seattle who want focused reps and real feedback behind the plate.
This program is built for the ongoing progression of catchers. Multiple Elevate catching instructors work with 10 to 16 athletes in small groups, teaching what each catcher needs right now and what will help them down the road.
The challenge: every catcher is unique, and they bring something different to our instructors each day. Current skill level, emotional state, strength, lever length, mobility and stability, processing speed, vision, level of play, what they've been taught, and what they feel versus what is real all come into play.
Catchers at the youth and amateur levels are often underserved. Our catching groups give them dedicated reps and instruction to build the skills, knowledge, and leadership it takes to run the game from behind the plate.
Our catching groups are led by a staff of instructors who caught at the Division I level and have become effective teachers of the craft. They share the work across each group, so every catcher gets the right information, feedback, and environment to keep improving.
Self-awareness and learning to make your own adjustments come first. Becoming a good teammate and catching partner comes next. The content is built around five areas:
Embrace change, even when the process feels uncomfortable. That's the only way to grow.
Which tools come out depends on the location and that day's plan.
When catching groups are open, they’re listed here with age group, schedule, and location, and each card’s More Info & Register link opens our online portal, where one sign-in covers groups, lessons, camps, and team registration for your family. If nothing is listed right now, check the portal or reach out and we’ll point you to the next available group.
Catching groups run at our Elevate facilities near Seattle. Baseball catching groups are held at our baseball locations (Woodinville, Sumner, and Redmond) and fastpitch catching groups at Lynnwood. The current location for each group is listed with the offerings above.
