I work with girls of all ages and talent level to elevate their fielding, hitting and recruiting profiles to reach their desired athletic goals.

I offer fielding (infield and outfield), hitting and speed & agility lessons. Softball is a game of fundamentals. Great players/coaches understand that mastering the basics of softball is an important part of improving their abilities. Therefore, I work diligently with my girls to learn the fundamentals of hitting, fielding, throwing, catching and base running.
