"Getting involved with Full Circuit was probably the best decision I made for my baseball career.  Coach Charlie helped me get my name out to several college coaches and is probably the reason I have the opportunity to play college ball now. The Full Circuit schedule was a tough one that included some college teams like NCCC, MCC, and Gannon which helped me be prepared for the next level.  Anyone who has an interest in getting better or playing baseball in college should become a part of Full Circuit and work with Coach Charlie."

–Zach Darlak- (Playing College Baseball at John Carrol University)

 

"Playing with Charlie and Full Circuit Power was the best decision I have ever made. Immediately after I started playing for Charlie I began to grow as a player and even more importantly a man. Charlie runs the program the way a program is supposed to be run and he single handedly is the reason I was able to play baseball at Gannon University. The things he taught me I take with me on a daily basis in the classroom and on the field. I can't ever begin to thank you enough coach."

–Nick Iskra- (Playing college baseball at Gannon University)

 

"Coach Karstedt has a wealth of baseball knowledge and a rare, one of a kind, passion for teaching to go with it. Through private hitting lessons, he has aided improvement and inspired confidence in my game. His knowledge of hitting is a resource that players at any level can utilize and benefit from.

 Through brief outside observation of the relatively new Full Circuit Program, I can safely say that it is one of the premier baseball programs in WNY. It is one that rewards hard work and dedication to improvement. Coach Karstedt puts an emphasis on developing players and readying them for college baseball and has proven successful in doing so. Looking back, Full Circuit is the kind of program I would have loved to play for. I strongly recommend it to any prospective players with the ultimate goal of playing collegiate baseball."

–Ben Haefner- (Playing baseball at University at Buffalo)

 

"You gave your time and talent to teach our son's the game of baseball. With patience and encouragement you guided them into their college career. Charlie we can't thank you enough. Our sons Vinny and Kyle Sherman are better players today because of your knowledge, your inspiration, your morals and your coaching ability.

Thank you for everything Charlie!”

The Full Circuit experience was first class from the start.  My son had the opportunity to join the Full Circuit family when he was 17.  Coming into a program where quite a few members of the team had played together for years can often be a difficult transition but my son felt like he was part of the family from the first day.  Expert instruction in all facets of the game, including fitness and nutrition, is available for those who wish to learn.  Charlie Karstedt and his staff will teach your child how to maximize their talents and expose them to a high level of competition.  The Karstedt’s love of baseball is evident from the first time you meet Charlie and his family and they will help guide your child to the next level of baseball.  I highly recommend Full Circuit.

For the past four (4) year’s my son Joshua has been part of the Full Circuit Power Program or should I say the Full Circuit Power Family as this is more indicative of the reality.  What parents most is our children and their well being and I can say with confidence that with FCP, our children are in excellent hands.  Charlie is not just concerned with your son’s baseball ability but wants them to succeed in life as a whole. 

In terms of baseball, your child will be schooled on the fundamentals of the game as well as being taught baseball knowledge that will assist in elevating their game performance.   Over these past four years, I have spoken to parents from other teams at tournaments and they are amazed on how fundamentally sound  the team plays and perhaps more importantly,  how well our boys conduct themselves both on and off the field. 

Charlie has a love of the “game” and he instills this in each and every player.  When Charlie calls a practice for a set time, he offers the kids who want extra work an earlier start.  Not to my surprise, everyone comes early.

Charlie stresses education with the boys as he knows that universities and colleges are not only looking at boys who can play ball but who can succeed in the classroom as baseball scholarships are limited but, educational scholarships are an attractive means to pursue higher education and still play baseball. 

If you want your son to be part of a family – FCP is your choice

If you want your son to learn the fundamentals and play the game the right way – FCP is your choice

If you want your son to have fun – FCP is your choice

If you want your son to grow not only in baseball but as a person – FCP is your choice.

If you are looking for a coach who treats his players with respect and truly cares about them not only as a ball player but as a person – Charlie is your choice.
