Our Player Development Program (PDP) is our flagship program that is designed for those who are serious about playing softball.

The key to success is the ability to create a personalized program based on each athlete’s performance and capabilities in sports performance, throwing and hitting.

To get started, each PDP athlete is required to undergo a comprehensive assessment with our PDP Evaluation. 

Our softball PDP system is an 8-week program tailored to your specific player development needs based on the results of your PDP Evaluation. We use Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure your baseline and your progress.

Each program will leverage technology and data to monitor your workload, output, and progress. Ascent Athlete’s staff works hand-in-hand to ensure no stone is left unturned.

We provide a semi-private training environment. This means you’ll receive consistent coaching and accountability while also taking ownership of your success and developing your personal training routines. When we said this was for serious players only, we meant it.

Pauses in all PDP packages may only be used in case of injury.

Evaluations are required to enter the PDP Program. The evaluation must be completed the week prior to the start of the new month.

The evaluations are used to gather the athletes initial metrics and place players in the appropriate session. Retesting will occur at the end of each month.

PDP is for athletes 13 years of age and older.
