The Polar Crush Junior Olympic Fast Pitch Program is dedicated to the educational, social, and athletic development of its participants. Academic achievement and exemplary citizenship are attributes deemed equally important to athletic skill development. A distinguishing feature of the Polar Crush Program is the student-athletes' total commitment to the group and their understanding that individual goals are more fully realized through their dedication to that group. Crush players enhance one another's skill development by comprehending the fact that in a team sport individual accomplishments are dependent upon the commitment, effort, and abilities of teammates.
Crush parents entrust their student-athletes to a program that emphasizes learning.
Crush coaches are teachers, and Crush players are students. The most basic mechanics of the sport are taught with mastery of foundation skills being a prerequisite to more advanced training. Establishment of a strong skill-base is essential to the eventual growth of a fast pitch player as all skills and abilities are interdependent. This blending of sound instruction and natural athleticism results in individual and team products that are both disciplined and spontaneously creative. Crush players are challenged to be true Junior Olympians in their mental approach, work ethic, and performance.
