THE BACKSTOP BANDITS ARE COMING TO NORTH DENVER!

Great catching coaches are hard to find. That’s why Backstop Bandits was formed — by catchers who’ve lived it, competed at the highest levels, and know how to connect with young athletes in a real, meaningful way. Most of our catching coaches are still playing at the college and professional levels.

At this two-day catching camp in North Denver, youth and high school catchers will train with elite instructors who teach through experience. From receiving and blocking to mobility and game awareness, every session is designed with intent - to help catchers play with more confidence and composure.

Backstop Bandits has built a strong reputation across Colorado for developing complete catchers — as players and exemplary humans. Founded in South Denver with the mission of building the next generation of elite Colorado catchers, Backstop Bandits has now helped 100s of catchers across the country, from the youth to professional levels. We couldn’t be more excited to expand into the North Denver area to reach more catchers in our home state.

CONFIRMED COACHES:

Turner Pruitt - B.B. Founder; Fresno Pacific alum; Former Savannah Banana

Nolan Ackerman - OG BACKSTOP BANDIT; Southeast Missouri State alum (2024 OVC champ & NCAA regional appearance)

Drew Stengren - Professional catcher (Joliet Slammers, Fronteir League); Central Michigan alum

Cole Daniluk - CSU Pueblo alum; Catching Coordinator at The Farm Sports in Colorado Springs

  • "The very first BB camp I attended, I knew it was different than other catching camps I’ve done.

  • "It wasn’t just drills and reps, it was a full experience that pushed me mentally and physically, surrounded me with competition, and connected me with coaches who genuinely care.

  • "Every camp since then has elevated my game — from refining the little things behind the plate to showing me how to stand out as a leader and a competitor on and off the field.

  • "BB helped me find confidence in who I am as a player. I went from being just another name to someone coaches started remembering — and that momentum has carried into every season.

  • "BB camps didn’t just prepare me for baseball — they helped me believe in the path I’m on, and prepare me to problem solve when I face adversity. I owe a lot of my success to Turner and Nolan, as they are amazing mentors for me.”

TESTIMONIALS FROM PAST CAMPERS

  • “My sons have been well coached and mentored by the coaching staff of the Bandits. I would recommend a camp by the Bandits to any friends or family that have a young catcher. Turner and his coaches have been instrumental [in] providing confidence with technique and in my sons’ abilities as catchers.”

  • “BB has helped my son not only learn the mechanics of catching, but also the mental approach and physical preparation necessary to play at a higher level. His blocking and receiving skills are noticeably better!”

    HS parent

  • “[Catcher's] birthday wish of going to the Backstop Bandits Catcher Camp was fulfilled. These men taught the boys so well. Teaching them physically and mentally how to become a great catcher. Will definitely go back!!!”
