Colorado Softball Academy
Competitive Development Teams

CSA is passionate about creating a positive and constructive culture for you to grow and develop through. Our goal is to create an environment that will push you, challenge you, fill you up, and keep you loving every minute of it! 

‘Winning Culture’ is a term that describes a culture that sets the stage for positive attitude, high expectations, an unrelenting work ethic, resulting in successful performances.

While our goal is to train you to compete at a high level nationally, we want you to walk out of here as good human beings on a daily basis. 

Things we won’t allow:

• Negative talk throughout parents and/or teammates.
• Bullying or harassment of any kind.
• Poor attitudes, poor effort, lack of attendance for workouts.
• Toxic energy throughout parents and athletes. 

Things we promote:

• High energy & effort! 
• Positive attitudes & self-affirmations!
• Build each other up!
• Fail Forward
• Brave Not Perfect
• Trust the Process
• Growth Mindset

We thrive on a collaborative culture where we (coaches, athletes, and families) can partner and work together for the best possible experience and development.

Our goal is to prepare you for life beyond the playing field. To do so, we set some pretty high, but fair expectations for our athletes and their families.

• Be a good human being. In short, treat others how you want to be treated.
• Attendance/ Punctuality – We understand many athletes have a long commute for practices and games. Our first priority is your safety, please do your best to be on time to your workouts and warm-ups. A good rule of thumb is try to arrive 15 minutes prior to your start time. We do expect athletes to attend all workouts and practices but do understand that life happens. At the end of the day, you get out of the experience, what you put into it.
• Communication – Communication is key to a successful relationship! We encourage athletes (age appropriate) to communicate with their coaches regarding any issues, questions, concerns or absences. If there is a major concern, we certainly welcome a conversation with every parent.
• Body Language & Work Ethic – Carry yourself with confidence and look your coaches in the eye. When you show up for workouts, show up with focus and ready to work hard.
• Partnership, Trust & Mutual Respect – It takes a village to raise a child, and it also takes a village to successfully train and prepare an athlete. CSA coaches want to build a successful partnership with each family to ensure everyone is moving in the same direction for the athlete and team success. In order to do this, parents need to trust coaches, and coaches need to be able to trust parents through this process. We are all on the same team, working to build these athletes up together!
