More About Coach Allie

I have been a softball pitching coach for about 9 years.
I played softball for 16 years including: Travel ball and in College in Monterey, CA
I was taught by one of the best pitching coaches in CA. Kenny Gardner (former pitching coach of Monica Abbott)

I believe mechanics are the most important part of being a great pitcher.
I have 8 different drills to achieve the perfect pitch.
I can teach you 10 different pitches

I was the starting pitcher at Pacific Grove High School for all 4 years.
Starting pitcher for ASA level "A" travel ball teams - Monterey Magic, Typhoons and The Pride
Starting pitcher at Monterey Peninsula College
Coached a 16 & under softball team in Pacific Grove, CA.
All of the pitchers I am working with are now the starting pitchers on their teams.

To start the lesson it is always important to warm your arm up over hand first. So we start out by simply throwing over hand until you feel your arm is warm. Then we move on to the 8 drills. These are simple yet very effective. They all have easy to remember names so you can practice at home as well! The first 4 drills start out close and then we stretch (very important) the last 4 drills will all be from the correct pitching distance depending on what level you are playing at. Then after you have the drills down we start pitching. I will give you tips throughout your lesson on proper mechanics and form. If you are an experienced pitcher we will work on your curve, screw, drop, rise, change-up and of course your fastball. I also teach the following pitches - Drop Curve, Off-speed curve, drop screw, off-speed screw, off-speed rise.

Coach Allie is top notch. She has my 10 year throwing strikes after two sessions. She taught Jahzira how to evaluate what went wrong with her pitches so that she can fix them during her practices with her team. Coach Allie's drills, tips and patience has given my daughter a confidence in pitching I haven't seen before. Jahzira is usually shy and reserved but Coach Allie was able to pull her out of her shell. She's having so much fun that she's throwing more strikes AND her pitches have become faster after just two sessions. We highly recommend Coach Allie!!!

Absolutely love coach Allie!!!! Never tried pitching before and now I'm hooked!!! She has a very calm but effective approach and she knows her business, can't wait for more lessons!!! Can't emphasize it enough, GREAT COACH!!!!!
Thanks, Sterling

Very nice coach! Thank you

Coach Allie was great! She introduced our daughter to proper warmup techniques and many drills to improve each segment of pitching. Awesome!

Coach Allie is an awesome coach. My daughter, Madelyn, felt so comfortable with her immediately. She is very knowledgeable and I know will help my daughter tremendously. We will be continuing our lessons with Allie and cannot wait to see what is on the agenda for the next lesson.

Allie was very down to earth. She made my daughter feel comfortable, which is paramount. Allie introduced new drills my daughter had not done before. She had my daughter analyze each pitch, both good and bad. This enabled my daughter to make adjustments as needed. We look forward to more sessions. Thanks Allie!!

My mom found Allie on this site. I was a little skeptical at first when she booked it. From the first moment I met her I knew she was going to help my daughter tremendously. She broke down the skills of pitching and gave my daughter the ability to feel confidence, which she was lacking. She has much more to learn but I know with the help of Allie she will develop her skills that much faster. Will definitely be booking in the future.

Allie was great....started with the basics and had my 8yr old daughter throwing strikes in 30 mins!! Will schedule more sessions!

Coach Allie only met with my daughter 1 time before she was scheduled to pitch in her first game. My daughters confidence was really high after the session and she learned a lot from her. We will definitely be scheduling more sessions

After just 2 sessions so far we can see our daughters pitching ability progressing and her confidence rising with every practice. We are excited to see where Allie's guidance combined with our daughter's drive will take her. Allie's experience is very evident and her personality and encouragement are worth the time and money invested.

Coach Allie is a great coach to have work with your child. She is great with my daughter with interaction while providing proper skill and technique. You can tell she really knows her stuff and gives out great info during her lesson and also gives you drills to work on at home as well. Coach Allie in one lesson had my daughter throwing strikes fairly consistent which is amazing when it's my daughters first year of playing softball and first ever attempt at pitching which is a very difficult skill.

My daughter was extremely excited after her first lesson with Coach Allie. She immediately had my daughters attention by bonding with her. As the hour progressed I watched my daughter struggle to throw strikes to throwing them down the middle. Coach Allie was extremely patient and aways remained positive. It was great getting a full hour from a qualified instructor as typically other instructors only like to book you for 30 minutes. With Coach Allie you get the full hour which is a must. We are looking forward to our next session.

Your a great pitching coach! Thank you for teaching me on how to become a better pitcher. I had a great time. - Ava

My daughter enjoyed her first session with Allie. Allie is very energetic and knowledgeable about pitching. She is very patient.We will be back for more
