BackstopU – The Elite Catching Development Program
A complete, year-round system built for catchers who want to throw harder, move better, and stay healthier — on-site or fully remote.
How It Works
BackstopU follows the same proven process that’s helped hundreds of VeloU athletes develop — built on testing, data, and individualized coaching.
1
Evaluation
Every catcher starts with a full movement and defensive evaluation. We analyze mobility, throwing mechanics, footwork, transfers, and force-production data to identify specific areas for improvement.
2
Custom Plan
Your throwing, defensive, and strength programming are built from your evaluation results. Whether in-season or off-season, each plan is tailored to your schedule, workload, and needs.
3
Train & Communicate
Catchers train through structured sessions that include throwing, strength, mobility, and defensive development. Your coach provides feedback and makes adjustments as you progress.
4
Retest & Refine
Data and video are reviewed regularly to track growth. Every few weeks, metrics are retested so your program evolves as you do.
