BB SPRING BREAK CATCHING CLINIC IN BRADENTON!

At this two-day catching clinic at HitLab Baseball, youth and high school catchers will train directly with Backstop Bandits founder, Turner Pruitt, alongside Jerry Beard and the HitLab coaching staff.

This clinic will be a high-energy crash course in the most important skills behind the plate — receiving, blocking, throwing, mobility, and overall game efficiency. Catchers can expect advanced instruction, focused drill work, and a competitive yet supportive environment designed to sharpen technique and build confidence fast.

With small-group training and a strong coach-to-athlete ratio, every athlete will receive hands-on attention, real-time feedback, and individualized adjustments throughout both days.

Coach Turner Pruitt has helped hundreds of catchers across the country reach their potential. He’s excited to bring that same standard of development to Bradenton this March.

TURNER PRUITT - Backstop Bandits Founder; Former catcher for Fresno Pacific University and the Savannah Bananas

JERRY BEARD & HITLAB STAFF

  • "The very first BB clinic I attended, I knew it was different than other catching clinics 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.

  • "[Coach Turner] 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.

  • "[Coach Turner] didn’t just prepare me for baseball — he 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

  • “My sons have been well coached and mentored by the coaching staff of the Bandits. I would recommend 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.”

    Youth & HS parent

  • “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 train with the Backstop Bandits was fulfilled. These men taught the boys so well. Teaching them physically and mentally how to become a great catcher. Will definitely go back!!!”
