Our Mission

“We are more than happy with C8 catching academy. The group of coaches that Brent Trask has put together by far exceeded any other other camp we have had our son participate in. The camps are designed to be done in small groups, allowing for individualized attention. Our son’s transition time has increased with small adjustments. Not only do they go over individual technique they work with the athletes on being a leader on the field. The camps are at a low cost and one of the most affordable clinics our son has participated in. Very pleased and highly recommended!”

“As a former competitive junior and competitive adult athlete, I can appreciate the technical aspects of creating good habits and routines for the skills required of a specialized position. This camp was extremely well organized and the coaches were professional and supportive of the players. This all created a fantastic learning environment which allowed the players to work hard and kept players focused on developing new skills. I also appreciated the written aspect of the camp were the players documented their goals and players were coached on how to developed a plan to exceed their goals.”
