- Provide on going activity programs based on throwing activities to local disadvantaged youth.
- Raise the success level of US throwers in the international arena. We will develop throwers at all levels of development to their fullest potential.

Our Beliefs and Values:
- There is intrinsic joy in physical activity.
- Participation in sports provides a rich environment for learning positive life lessons.
- The pursuit of excellence in sports provides tremendous personal growth opportunities.
