DAYS
Tuesday through Thursday
Your catcher’s favorite standing appointment. Find her class, make it a weekly thing, and give that love for catching somewhere to grow.
THE JSC METHOD
Jen Schro’s methodology. The standard behind every lesson.
We’re particular about the details—and proud of it. Purposeful reps, specific feedback, and coaches who expect a lot because they see what your catcher is capable of. Serious about development. Loud about celebrating progress.
OUR GROUP CLASSES AREN'T LIKE THE REST.
We don't cram in as many kids as a room can fit. Every class has one coach for every three players or less, and every class is structured with purpose. Catchers get focused coaching while learning to compete, support each other, respond to feedback, and go after the next rep together.
Find the right class for your catcher.
Find the right fit for her.

THE JEN SCHRO CATCHING METHODOLOGY.
One Method. Every Rep.
We’re obsessed with the details. Your catcher deserves that.
Jen’s methodology drives every class. JSC-trained coaches bring the plan, coach the specifics, and make sure catchers understand what they’re working on—and why.
Strong fundamentals, always. As catchers grow, the pace picks up. So does the competition. Game management, leadership, and mental toughness become part of the work.
We expect effort. We teach athletes how to use feedback. And we get loud when something clicks.
PURPOSE IN THE PLAN
Every drill has a job. Every rep gets coached. Our coaches come prepared with a clear focus and challenges that match each group’s age and experience. We build on the fundamentals, connect skills to game situations, and make sure catchers understand what they’re working toward—and why it matters.
FEEDBACK INTO ACTION
“Do it again” only works if you know what to change. Catchers get specific corrections, clear explanations, and the chance to apply feedback in the next rep. Coaches help them work through adjustments, ask questions, and recognize progress—so they leave understanding their game better than when they arrived.
COMPETE + SUPPORT
Compete hard. Hype each other up. Every class includes age-appropriate competition that challenges catchers to put their skills to work under pressure. They learn to win with class, handle disappointment, and cheer for someone else’s success. We expect them to push themselves—and support the girl beside them.
Girls who push each other. Coaches who follow through.
A standard worth showing up for.
Don't sleep on this one.

The transformation parents see.
Better catching is the goal. But what parents notice first is who their daughter is becoming.
PARENT · 8-YEAR-OLD
Our daughter used to say ‘I can’t’ before she even tried something new. What we love about the Jen Schro Catching program is that she’s learning how to be a beginner—to listen, struggle a little, and try again without feeling embarrassed. Now, when she misses a ball, she wants another rep instead of wanting to stop. She comes home proud because she did something hard. At eight years old, that’s a huge win.
PARENT · 10-YEAR-OLD
Our daughter used to look straight at us after a mistake, waiting for reassurance that she was doing okay. Through the lessons and culture of the Jen Schro Catching program, she’s learning to work through those moments herself. She’s asking questions, hearing corrections without taking them as criticism, and staying engaged when a drill gets frustrating. The moment she said, ‘I messed that up, but I know what to work on,’ we knew something was changing. That confidence means so much more than a perfect practice.
PARENT · 12-YEAR-OLD
At twelve, our daughter was spending a lot of energy comparing herself to other catchers. The culture of the Jen Schro Catching program has helped her see that she can learn from the girl beside her and cheer for her without feeling like she’s falling behind. She’s also learning to own her effort. If she hasn’t practiced something, she can’t expect it to magically improve. We’re having fewer arguments about putting in the work because she’s starting to understand that her goals belong to her.
PARENT · 15-YEAR-OLD
The Jen Schro Catching program has challenged our daughter in ways she needed. She’s learning that being a leader includes her body language after an error, how she responds to feedback, and the effort she gives when she’s frustrated. There have been lessons where she’s had to hear something uncomfortable, take a breath, and get back to work. Being in a culture where she feels supported and is still held accountable has made a real difference. We’re watching her become someone who can have a hard day without letting it decide how she treats herself or her teammates.
PARENT · 18-YEAR-OLD · COLLEGE FOCUSED
As our daughter gets ready for college softball, we know we won’t be there to talk her through every rough practice or difficult conversation. What we value about the Jen Schro Catching program is the ownership it’s helped her develop. She’s learning to ask for clarification when she doesn’t understand a correction, stay engaged when she isn’t getting praised, and take responsibility for her preparation. The culture has challenged her to be coachable even when she’s disappointed and to contribute even when the attention is on someone else. As a parent, seeing her develop that maturity makes sending her off a little easier.
