Amanda, how do I become one of your private lesson clients?
*You MUST take either Elite Hitting or All Things Beginner Pitching to start signing up for private lessons and maintenance sessions!
I have had so many girls ask about private lessons lately as the season approaches – that I wanted to come up with a solution to ‘fast track’ these girls into a better understanding of their mechanics, approach, & mindset and into becoming one of my clients. Being so busy is a great ‘problem’ to have, but I HATE turning anyone away – especially girls who want to put in the work.
What I noticed was that the initial few lessons of explaining our common terminology, understanding the ‘why,’ and having enough time to practice what we were teaching was SO necessary for the client, but to do it right, was so time consuming where it was making me hesitate taking on new clients purely because of the amount of time onboarding someone new required! With that being said – I have two options for you to become one of my clients and start booking with us!
*Usually we only offer Elite Hitting only during the Summer and over Christmas Break.
Elite Hitting:
- This class will cover 6 HOURS WORTH of my private lessons in TWO – 3 hour classes. Must commit to both classes. The first class will go over expectations, correct form, and our common terminology. The second class will build on the first class and cover both mechanics and approach to offspeed and spinning pitches. This is a 6 week+ course, condensed into a weekend! For girls in second year 12u+.
All Things Beginner Pitching:
- This is a 2 Hour class that is designed to teach all aspiring (AND intermediate/advanced) pitchers the basics and our common terminology!
- We will cover the correct warm-up, form, our common terminology, and how to self-correct! This is the perfect class for players who want to be a pitcher, but are not sure where to start AND a great introductory class for older girls who want to get into Amanda’s rotation! This is also a GREAT class for parents who want to learn too! A catcher is required for this class (parent, teammate, or sibling). Max 4 players. February 19th 9-11am. We try to offer this class monthly to bi-monthly.
Once you complete either of these classes you will be able to sign up for the Private Lesson Maintenance sessions and private lessons with me!
Not ready to commit to being one of my clients? Only want 1 or 2 sessions? Sign up for any of the upcoming AWS clinics HERE OR I have a wonderful staff who will get you in for the short term. But to develop long term growth we highly recommend coming in on a consistent basis to see maximum results.
What are the maintenance sessions that you mention?
The maintenance sessions are small group sessions of 2-5 players (my private clients only, must take Elite Hitting or ATBP) with myself and another one of my coaches depending on how many we have signed up. These classes are a great way to get reps and quick reminders about your swing and pitch! I offer these maintenance classes 2-3 times a week during desirable time slots so that you can make it home for dinner with enough time to do your homework!
We get right into it (if you are a private client of mine you should already have an idea of what you are working on) and start where we left off the last time you came in! They are fun, fast-paced, and the girls all know each other. It’s nice to see my girls make friends!
I love the option of offering both group AND private lessons for my clients as I have found that this is the most cost-effective way for my families to get in consistently and not have to pay an arm and a leg for ONLY privates while still receiving instruction and reps!
These are also super convenient for my JV/Varsity girls and their busy/changing schedules as they don’t have to plan so far ahead as you do with private lessons. Most of my clients do a mix of both maintenance classes AND private lessons when needed.
Can I book a private team clinic?
YES! Team clinics are one of my FAVORITE groups to teach! When girls are with their friends and having fun – it’s definitely a vibe! I have more information on this HERE.
So I can book any of the Upcoming Clinics?
Yes! All the the sessions located on the ‘Upcoming Clinic’ page are available for ALL players to book! Come check us out and see who we are while also having some fun! Click HERE to see the Upcoming AWS Clinics.
Not sure where to start?
P.S. Thank you to EVERYONE who got me to this point so far and for reminding me why I do this!
