Parent Involvement:
The most successful pitchers have supportive parents. We ask parents to join their daughters in each class to catch and learn. If you are unable to physically catch a sibling or team catcher will do.
Instructors:
Abby Hanrahan and Emily Tucci will be the lead instructors. Various instructors will be the assistants for other classes. Occasionally, lead instructors will sub for one another. All instructors for each day are listed in your scheduling app (Wodify).
Rescheduling:
If you miss a class you must reschedule your class within your current session. You may not roll over any classes to any other class, lesson or camp. This includes missing the last class. Open spots in other classes are not guaranteed.
Class Levels:
Class levels help you schedule yourself into an appropriate class. Level 3+ only players in this level and above may join. What level am I in? Your current level is listed at the top of your CoachNow Space.
