Pitching Lessons
Pitching lessons are instructed by Coach Leigh Thomas. For pitching lessons, players are expected to provide their own catcher whether that be a family member, a teammate, or someone else. It is not the responsibility of the pitching instructor to provide you with a catcher. All teammates and minors will be required to at least wear a catcher’s helmet while catching a pitcher. Catcher’s helmets and other pieces of equipment will be provided if needed.


Catching Lessons
Catching lessons are instructed by Coach Leigh Thomas. If you have catchers gear, then please bring it with you. However, we do have a couple sets of gear that you are more than welcome to borrow for the lesson. There will be times that catching lessons will be combined with pitching lessons. By doing this, catchers will be able to apply what they have learned in their lessons to a game-like situation by catching a pitcher while having an instructor there to help guide and teach. This experience is critical to helping catchers develop their skills and gain catching experience.


Fielding, Throwing, and Other Defensive Skills Lesson
Fielding, throwing, and other defensive skills lessons are instructed by Coach Leigh Thomas. Balls will be provided at the lesson; however, please bring your glove and your face mask if you wear one.


Hitting, Slapping, and Other Offensive Skills Lesson
Hitting, Slapping and other offensive skills lessons are instructed by Coach Jeremy Satterly. Please bring your bat, helmet, and your batting gloves if you wear them.

 Is water provided at lessons?
No, water is not provided. Players are asked to please bring their own water to lessons. We do not have a way to provide water at this time.

Need to Cancel?
To make cancellations, please contact your instructor 24 hours beforehand that your player will not be able to attend lessons. If you do not do so, then you will still be expected to pay the $30. This is for planning purposes only, so the instructor knows who to expect and when.

Need to Reschedule?
If for some reason your lesson time does not work for you that week, then please contact your instructor 24 hours beforehand to get your lesson rescheduled to another time that week. If your lesson is scheduled on a Saturday and you would like to reschedule, then you can either do double lessons that next week or cancel your lesson all together for that week. If you know early enough that week that you need to reschedule, then feel free to contact your instructor to get it rescheduled for an earlier time that week. We love to do lessons with players and help them develop their skills, but please understand that we ask for consideration and flexibility when asking to reschedule lesson times.

We cannot wait to start working with your player to help her develop her softball skills. Please feel free to message us if you are interested in scheduling lessons!
