Why MADISON THROWS CLUB?
  • "Throwing with Madison Throws Club and going to MTC Clinics has helped me because I play basketball as well...It helps me get back into the throwing season. I start out pretty rusty and the extra work helps out a lot - especially with great coaches that really know what they are talking about! It creates a time to get out all the kinks you may have."
  • "Joe gets me relaxed to have big throws. I seem to always throw my best when he is around! He knows what he is talking about and has many different drills and techniques to help you do your best."
ADVICE FOR THROWERS:
"It only takes one throw!"
"Stay positive through out all situations, the best throwers know how to compete through all obstacles that my be in the way."
