THIS IS THE MUCH ANTICIPATED FOLLOW-UP TO OUR DVD RELEASED IN 2006. WE’VE COMPLETELY REVAMPED AND UPDATED THE INFORMATION TO GIVE CATCHERS ACCESS TO THE MOST IN-DEPTH AND INTELLIGENT APPROACHES TO THE CATCHING POSITION.

Hello there! My name is Jay Weaver. I am the Owner | Co-Founder of The Catching Camp. Since 2001, my program has provided instruction to catchers from all over the world. TCC students and clients have ranged from youth athletes to college catchers, to those playing Major League Baseball and high-level International softball.

My program has worked directly with catchers, both baseball and softball, from 49 out of the 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and 12 other countries! Today, TCC serves as the largest training program for baseball and softball catchers in the entire world. Every offseason, we travel around the country, providing catchers with elite positional instruction.

In 2006, we released an instructional DVD titled "A Coach's Guide to Training Catchers." It was long referred to by many as THE go-to source for high-level catching instruction. But, as our program has evolved, so has the information and our understanding of how the human body can best perform the skills needed from the catching position. For many coaches out there, the idea of not actually knowing what they once thought they knew is a terrifying concept. However, we have always strived to avoid letting our ego or fear get in the way of our growth as clinicians. After all, my program and I are only ever going to be as successful as our students.

The foundation of The Catching Camp has always been our willingness to adjust what we teach when we are able to find better approaches to a particular skill. We trust in advanced analytics, science, and the overwhelming amount of value that video provides coaches and athletes alike. We want catchers to think about the position intelligently. You will see over 120 videos helping to illustrate the concepts of intelligent catching covered in this e-book.

This e-book is the product of years of research and analysis and is the definitive update to our approach to the catching position. Think of the e-book as the digital representation of the information you'd be exposed to at a TCC Summer Camp, covering every aspect of the catching position and the approaches we believe give catchers a clear advantage over their peers and competitors. I not only seek to show coaches and catchers what to do but why we believe these approaches are a catcher's best chance for success behind the plate.
