What does AWS offer?

PRIVATE LESSONS: AWS offers one-on-one and small-group instruction with Amanda as well as other experienced members of the AWS coaching team. With multiple instructors, specialties, and coaching styles to choose from, families can find the coach who is the best fit for their athlete’s needs and goals. Lessons are tailored to each individual player—whether she’s building fundamentals, fine-tuning mechanics, working through a specific weakness, or looking to take her game to the next level. Focused reps and personalized feedback help players develop their skills while building confidence they can carry with them on game day. More information HERE.

GROUP TRAINING: Our clinics are a great way to expose your players to new techniques and top notch instruction. These convenient drop in classes are easy to fit into your daughter’s busy schedule. All while having some fun of course. Open to everyone to sign up! Book HERE.

TEAM TRAINING: Bring the whole team! AWS offers customized team sessions that are organized, challenging, educational, and built around your team’s specific needs. It’s also one of the most cost-effective ways to give your athletes high-quality instruction together. You can request more information through this LINK or visit THIS page for more information!

BUYING GUIDES: Choosing the right equipment is hard which is why we offer links and buying guides for coaches, parents, and players looking for a little help.

HELPFUL ARTICLES: Helpful articles and short reads for players, coaches, and parents – by yours truly. These are my thoughts, ideas, & unfiltered honesty for you about fastpitch softball. Sometimes, it’s nice hearing you’re not alone in your softball woes, or refreshing to read a different perspective from someone who’s lived it. Visit the AWS Blog HERE.

POSITIVE FEMALE ROLE MODELS: : Consider us your daughter’s personal team of hype women. AWS coaches are accomplished softball players and coaches who bring knowledge, encouragement, confidence, and real playing experience to every session. We want athletes to leave AWS as better softball players—but also more confident young women. You can read more about us HERE.

Amanda, how do I become one of your private lesson clients?

Due to the high volume of athletes I currently work with, I am not accepting new private lesson clients at this time. I want to make sure I can continue giving my current athletes the time, consistency, and attention they deserve rather than taking on more players than my schedule can realistically accommodate.

The good news is that AWS has an awesome team of coaches available for private instruction! Each coach brings her own experience, specialties, and coaching style to lessons. Not sure who would be the best fit for your daughter? Please feel free to reach out! I’m always happy to recommend an AWS coach based on your athlete’s age, position, experience level, personality, and goals.

And don’t worry—you don’t have to be my private lesson client to train with me. My clinics, camps, and group training opportunities are open to everyone!

What are the maintenance sessions that you mention?

The maintenance sessions are small group sessions of 2-5 players (my private clients only) 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?

Absolutely! AWS offers private team training for coaches looking to give their players focused, high-quality instruction in a team setting. Sessions are customized around your team’s age, skill level, goals, and areas of focus—whether that’s hitting, defense, pitching, catching, or a combination of skills.

Team training is a great way to introduce new techniques, reinforce fundamentals, and give coaches another set of eyes on their athletes. Sessions can range from a one-time clinic to ongoing offseason training, depending on your team’s needs.

Interested in setting something up? HERE.

So I can book any of the Upcoming Clinics?

Yes! AWS clinics and group training sessions are open to everyone—your athlete does not need to be a current private lesson client or affiliated with a specific team or organization to attend.

Each clinic is designed around specific ages, skill levels, and areas of development, so be sure to check the clinic description before registering to make sure it’s the right fit for your player. Clinics are offered throughout the year and vary by season, location, and focus.

No commitment, no membership—just find a clinic that works for your athlete and sign up!
