The Clint Stoerner Football Camp in Fayetteville, Arkansas attracted new customers, including one of the country's top ranked high school programs in Springdale High School.

July 6, 2006

GreatCatch has traveled with Lance to the Manning Passing Academy, where high school athletes from around the country used the GreatCatch for the first time.  The product was exposed to some of football's greatest athletes and coaches, and went home to several colleges and high schools. 

June 29, 2006

Lance (Coach Strother/Co-Inventor and Co-Owner of GreatCatch) teamed up again with Clint Stoerner (former record breaking quarterback for the University of Arkansas Razorbacks/former Dallas Cowboy/current starting quarterback for the Arena I Nashville Kats) to coach a private clinic for Warren High School and Camden-Fairview High School in south Arkansas.  This was a quarterback and receiver skill development clinic hosted at Warren High School that lasted 2 days.  About 20 receivers benefited from 8 hours of drill work using the product.  Results were seen within the first 2 hours as the players made the transition from palm and chest catching to increased concentration and finger catching.  The GreatCatch's guaranteed results were quickly noticed by coaches of both high schools who purchased coaches packs for their programs.  Several players got their own individual pair.  Following the clinic, Lance and Clint drove into Little Rock, Arkansas for a live radio show with Sports Talk Radio 103.7 'The Buzz'.  The newly invented GreatCatch was featured and introduced to all Arkansas listeners. 

Lance will be traveling to Nichols State University next week to coach alongside some of the top coaches and players in the NFL and College at the Manning Passing Academy.    Roughly 1,000 high school players from all over the country will use the GreatCatch for the first time! 

Our next exhibit will be at the Louisiana High School Coaches Clinic in Baton Rouge and then the Texas Coaches School.

GreatCatch attended the San Angelo Coaches Clinic in San Angelo, Texas for their 4th ever exhibition of the newly invented training aid.  The GreatCatch was once again very well received by coaches at every level.  Highlights from the weekend include meeting the offensive staff of the Texas Longhorns, defending NCAA Division I National Champions and setting them up with GreatCatch product.  Additionally, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico purchased the GreatCatch for their college, program representing our first customer in the country of Mexico.  Along with these highlights, we are excited to have set up many other football programs with GreatCatch Coaches Packs after demonstrating this revolutionary catch trainer at the San Angelo Clinic. 

GreatCatch was blessed to have met the founders of a wonderful and worthwhile organization called 'Grid Iron Heroes.'  This organization was founded by a father and a son after the son made a tackle in a state final game in Texas and ended up paralyzed due to a spinal cord injury.  Through the experience of dealing with this tragic accident, this father and son set out to assist other football players who suffer such injuries.  GreatCatch supports this great cause, and thanks the heroes like this father and son who, through their suffering, work to help others.

June 9, 2006 - 10,000 PAIRS OF THE GREATCATCH HAVE ARRIVED!  PLACE YOUR ORDER NOW! 

GreatCatch is gearing up for a trip out to San Angelo next week.  We are excited for only our 4th exhibit ever.  The San Angelo Football Clinic will attract around 1,000 coaches and boasts an awesome list of expert speakers on the game of football.  We look forward to introducing our revolutionary catch trainer to these coaches, and for the GreatCatch to continue improving football players and programs.  

June 5, 2006 - GreatCatch LLC would like to thank the University of Louisiana at Lafayette for their coaches clinic held at Hotel Acadiana in Lafayette, Louisiana.  U.L.L. coaching staff did an awesome job in providing quality speakers and true 'Cajun' hospitality.  When the high school coaches weren't in sessions learning football, they were relaxing on the golf course and eating boiled crawfish.  If you're a high school football coach and you haven't attended this clinic, we highly recommend it. 

GreatCatch is excited to announce one of our newest customers, the Lafayette Hurricances (Lafayette, Louisiana Semi-Pro Football Team), who we met at the U.L.L. Clinic.  Good luck Hurricanes this upcoming season.

May 5, 2006 - GreatCatch has a busy summer and we are excited to share with you where we will be.  GreatCatch is a proud sponsor of the Jim Hightower Skills and Drills Football Camp.  This football camp will take place at St. Thomas More High School in Lafayette, Louisiana beginning on Monday, June 5, 2006 and ending on Thursday, June 8, 2006.  The camp is open to athletes in 3rd-8th grade. 

Next, GreatCatch will travel to San Angelo, Texas for the Angelo Football Clinic on June 14, 15, and 16.  We will have an exhibit booth where 2,000 coaches will be introduced to the GreatCatch and be given the opportunity to try the product on and purchase for their programs.  From San Angelo, GreatCatch will make a showing at the Manning Passing Academy in Thibodeaux, La., then travel up to Bryant, Ar. for the Clint Stoerner Football Camp being held at Bryant High School.  The last stop of the summer will be at the Texas Coaches School in San Antonio.  We hope that your summer will involve using the GreatCatch to improve your catching as you prepare for this upcoming 2006 football season.  Good luck!

February 24, 2006 - What a weekend!  In only the second ever showing of the newly invented GreatCatch at the Frank Glazier Megaclinic in Dallas, Texas, the coaches loved the product.  48 different football programs purchased the GreatCatch for their athletes, including schools from Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, and California.  In just 4 days of introducing this revolutionary catch trainer to the football world, the GreatCatch is now being used in nearly 100 different football programs in 10 different states.  The response from coaches at every level, players, national speakers, and parents of players, has proven the necessity of the GreatCatch in helping players and programs reach their dreams.   

February 16, 2006 - The GreatCatch had a Great launch in Houston, Texas at the Frank Glazier Megaclinic.  In its debut, the 350 coaches, representing about 170 different football programs, were introduced to the first-ever training tool for athletes who catch the football.  The old adage that 'catching' can't be coached is now disproved.  When the coaches tried the product on and began to catch footballs, the GreatCatch sold itself.  The response of the coaches far exceeded all expectations.  The GreatCatch, after just two days of exposure at the Megaclinic, is now being used in football programs in Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, California, Oklahoma, New York, Florida, and Oregon.  Forty-two different football programs, including pee-wee teams, youth teams, junior high teams, high school and college programs purchased the GreatCatch in Houston.

February 9, 2006 - GreatCatch would like to extend a special thanks to the following people and businesses that have been such a Great part of the GreatCatch business.  We first thank God and our families, particularly our wonderful wives who have been so patient and supportive in this vision.  We thank St. Thomas More Catholic High School in Lafayette, Louisiana for their committed support since the onset of the dream.  Thanks to Rodney Jacks, Darren Barbier, Jim Hightower and the STM coaching staff, Gunter Brewer, Cruce' Web Design and Promotions, and Mark Maxwell Video Productions.  We extend a special thanks to all the youth, junior high, high school, and college teams that see the effectiveness of the GreatCatch and use the training tool for the improvement of their athletes.  We appreciate the St. Thomas More athletes who volunteered their time for the video.  These people and businesses have made a great contribution to the successful launch of the newly invented GreatCatch.
