Book Private Softball Lessons with Coach Kevin
Growing up I came from a small Northern California town where no one ever went on to play Division 1 college baseball. Although I was just an average looking Joe, I clung to my coaching, watched the pros, and made it a point to out work everyone on the field. I was later rewarded with a D1 scholarship to the 6th ranked team in the country. Throughout my career I attended three colleges, played in two high profile summer leagues and played a year of semi pro ball with numerous professional players. These experiences allowed me to learn from some of the best coaches in the country. I specialize in pitching, but an well versed in hitting and fielding.. My philosophy is to teach the Division 1 game at a young age, both physically and mentally. I am a student of sports psychology and believe most coaches do not teach this enough. I have a rich history of coaching kids of all ages, and can promise that your student athlete will drastically improve their skill set with me. I am very focused on mechanics and Winning.

Get to know Coach Kevin
About Me:
5 years college playing experience.
1 year at the Jayhawk league.
1 year at the Shenandoah Valley league.
* A fun fact is that I played with two players on the Oakland A’s featured in the movie “Money Ball” (great movie!)
How I can help you improve your game:
Mechanics are the key. Start there and everything falls into place. My strength is having the trained eye and background to identify the positive mechanics as well as the negative ones.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
I like my sessions to last no less than 70 min and maybe up to 90.
One hour just is not long enough to develop muscle memory. The 75 min session allows me to go through a “dry run” on mechanics. I break hitting and pitching into 4-5 steps. After doing these steps dry we will get into some drills and finally live hitting/pitching.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have coached at numerous high schools and numerous little leagues. I was also the under-grad assistant at Louisiana Tech University.
Best coach I ever had:
My junior college pitching coach Bob Bafia had a huge impact on my career, as well as the head coach Kevin Smallcomb.
They allowed me to learn and brought out the tenacious competitor that I was . I hold them in high regard and responsible for my success.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am 52 years old, still very athletic and still playing softball. I have tons of life experience and am recently retired from law enforcement. I am very passionate about the game, so if you are serious about getting better and want to be pushed, I’m your man.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
