I am an Elite Level certified Paulygirl Fastpitch Instructor. What does that mean? I’ve been vetted to teach safe, and elite level pitching mechanics. We are a network of pitching instructors from around the country and world, who meet weekly to discuss pitching mechanics, share drills, and help each others students get better.

I have truly been blessed with great players who have worked hard, both during the season and in the off season. I have had several players play at the collegiate level, anywhere from Junior College, and NAIA to Division 1 through Division 3.

I’m excited to help your daughter reach their goals!
