Book Private Lessons with Coach Kassidy
I aim to support athletes through trust, respect and knowledge of the game.
I build successful athletes by listening first, and then giving feedback after. Building a foundation of respect will allow the athlete to trust in my coaching abilities, as well as themselves. I also value talking shop highly, to be successful, you have to be a master of the game you're playing. Not specifically the position you are training to be better at. Knowing the strategic side of softball, and being able to connect this with the technical and physical side of it, is what builds champions. When it comes to training, my passion is to build strength, confidence, and dedication, while keeping the environment safe and fun, as sports are a leisure activity and should still be enjoyed.

Get to know Coach Kassidy
About Me:
I recently attained my coaching degree, allowing me to work with athletes of all ages. I was behind the plate (a catcher) for 8 years before retiring my time as a player. I enjoy talking about the ins and outs of softball, teaching strategic skills, and helping athletes reach short and long term goals both within the sport and in life.
How I can help you improve your game:
I specialize in the defensive side of softball, from catching to fielding. This may include coaching of: throwing/catching mechanics, transfer time, strength and conditioning, and situational plays.
On the offensive side of the field I am confident in my knowledge of teaching base running, situational plays, and explosiveness.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
The entire session will be 75 minutes. This includes a warm up, every day skills, as well as 45 minutes of specific drills based on the needs of the athlete.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Throughout my time in Brockport for college, I worked with Churchville Chili HS modified - varsity softball, SJF Football, as well as took multiple classes for coaching including: psychology, foundations and strength training.
During my internship at TC3 (Tompkins Cortland Community College), I was able to work along side the softball team, where I led youth clinics and assisted with everyday needs and practices.
While I was a player, I played school ball for twelve years. I also played on a travel ball team for 2 years. I was a catcher and third baseman for most of my time as a player!
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was my little league coach that was able to ignite the love for softball I had in my veins! Coach Tallman saw the passion I carry for softball when I was in 2nd grade, and helped shape me into the athlete I am today. He is the most respectable, caring, kind person a youth athlete could have as a coach!
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am available for trainings during the weekdays 4 PM and after, and can do Sunday all day! However, I am flexible with changing my availability at my full time job, if the demand for different training times are higher. Due to just starting, I am also unable to have a secure location for trainings. I have a few places that I can suggest, and have added to my list of venues, but I cannot promise they will be available when we arrive. I am more than happy to travel a longer distance for trainings if parents and/or athletes can find a designated venue for training sessions for the time being. Thank you! Believe in me so I can believe in your athletes!!

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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

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?

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.
