BACKSTOP CATCHING LLC | Application Preview
BACKSTOP CATCHING LLC is seeking government grants to launch classes and clinics aimed at helping youth in the community improve their baseball catching skills. The funding will be used for facility rentals and community outreach efforts to ensure broad access to these services.
The business plans to offer regular classes and clinics, travel to various events, and engage with players and coaches of all ages. To enhance outreach, the owner is learning marketing strategies to effectively share program information and will leverage both an online platform and in-person interactions to create a comprehensive learning experience.
The applicant emphasizes a genuine passion for fostering connections through sports, highlighting how participation in baseball can build confidence and social skills among children. The goal is to create a supportive environment for personal growth and community bonding.
In terms of competition, the applicant notes that while there are other catching programs, none offer the unique combination of virtual accessibility and personalized coaching. The applicant's approach focuses on one-on-one interaction rather than filling camps to capacity, ensuring a more impactful experience for each participant.
The competitive advantage lies in having the first all-inclusive virtual catching program, which is easily accessible via mobile devices. The business also identifies a significant gap in catching instruction within the baseball community. With the owner managing content creation independently, there is a commitment to ongoing development and availability of instructional materials, making learning continuous and accessible.

Funding Usage
I am looking to start hosting classes and clinics to help kids in the community get back together and offer a service that is rare in the baseball community. I want to do everything I can to give players and coaches a helpful resource to learn more about catching so they can have as much success as possible in their future! I would put this towards facility rentals and community outreach to have as many people have access to my services as possible.

Business Plan
By running consistent classes and clinics in the community and traveling to as many events as possible and working with kids and coaches of all ages. I am also learning marketing skills and will implement new techniques to get more people information as efficiently as possible. I have both an online program and love working with people in person so they compliment each other. I truly love helping not just baseball players but people make connections with one another through sports. The confidence that sports give kids so so unique and it's an incredible way to improve social skills and gain the ability to become a better person for everybody around them. I want to make a platform where this is possible as much as I physically can!

Self Identified Competition
Honestly nobody else has a complete catching program that is virtual and can be on your phone. So there are other catching organizations but none that can offer both services that I can. My top three competitors are great coaches, I just have a different system in mind and one that focuses on interaction and not fitting the most kids as possible into a camp. I want to impact and coach as many kids one on one while still getting them to interact with each other! I have the first and only virtual catching program that has everything baseball coach needs right from their pocket. There is very little catching instruction in the world and it is something that desperately needs to be addressed in the baseball community. I also have extensive experience in video and content production, I filmed and edited and shot everything by myself. The company is only me. So I alone can continue to make videos and instruction so everyone can continue to learn and grow!
