Teams will practice once a week and players will be required to get lessons and validate commitment with weekly programming provided as follow up from what is learned in practice. This is for committed families only! Player’s must work on their game at home and be driven to compete. I am not concerned where they are today however, I am most concern about where they are going. This program is all about development and the focus is to build the foundation for these players to grow on. They will receive progressive instruction and will be guided by professional coaching, No Parents will be the head coach of the team. Stars and Stripes Sports is a National Sports Eco-System specializing in athletic development. Stars and Stripes Sports is a trusted and proven brand that has influenced thousands of athletes all over the country specializing in proper progressive development. It will only take one meeting and one practice to understand how special this opportunity is and how much value the families will receive. Parents need to understand the level of commitment is the biggest factor in each athletes journey. Athletes should practice 80% of the time and play 20% of the time which is not what most people are used to. There is no race to attend, only creating long-term plans that you can benefit the development of your child. You will not guess if your child is developing, we will prove the progression by documenting measurable increases and seeing the results on the field of play. We will host a Benchmark Sports Testing Event where each athlete will participate in a sports testing process pioneered by Stars and Stripes Sports. If you are not testing…YOU ARE GUESSING! Each athlete can immediately see where they stand in relation to other players their age across the United States. That will create the benchmark data testing info needed to create accountability. Every professional and person involved in the development of this athlete can now be monitored and measured on their value. Each athlete will create a Digital Profile which will act as their resume and will capture their development process through middle school, high school and to college or professional participation. This Digital Profile is the center spoke in the wheel for the athlete, parents, coaches, instructors, sports performance professionals, orthopedics, scouts, recruiters, guidance counselors, etc. The retention of data and the ability to use the data to provide progressive training will ensure the best decisions possible are always made. We build the “Total Student-Athlete”. We demand this of all of our players and you see it on the field of play. 1. PLAY FEARLESS 2. BE A GOOD TEAMMATE 3. LIVE A LITTLE-HAVE MORE FUN THAN EVERYONE ELSE Parents- I have a contract you must execute and a total commitment to the team is expected. The commitment is only for the Fall Season. Parents are asked to be parents and provide unwavering support for their child and the team. I have done this for 25 years and we have National Teams with parents and players coming together with others from all over the country. We have no issues or drama as we are a happy place to be. Parents if you do not have anything good to say, do not speak. If you embarrass your child…I will embarrass you! It is really that simple for the optimal development environment. Environment Creating the most optimal environment possible is going to make the biggest impact on your child. We develop each player and teach them the skills necessary to grow. We provide periodization in training that increases the optimization of development and lessens the chance of injury. Everyone pitches, we are very strict in pitch counts and will not throw on back to back days. The accountability created in our program eliminates the chance of overuse. It has never happened and will not happen. If the athletes do not practice the skills at home they will not achieve mastery and you will not see improvement in relation to the ones that are. All Athletes must complete the Peak Performance Network Mobile App: Daily Athletic Performance Survey Daily Pitching Journal Weekly Progressive Development Training All Players can participate on the Stars and Stripes National Team if they wish. You can pick one date or multiple dates to attend.
