Get to know Kayla
Want players to learn the game and grow but also to have fun.
Hi, I’m Kayla. Softball has been a big part of my life for years. I played competitively through high school and travel ball, and I’ve stayed involved in the game through varsity high school umpiring and volunteering with USA Softball of Northern California. What I’d love to bring to Athletes Untapped is not only my knowledge of softball, but my ability to connect with athletes. I want to help young players build their skills and confidence while creating an environment where they can enjoy the game and grow as athletes. I know how much of an impact a good coach can have, and I’d love the opportunity to be that person for the next generation of softball players.
How I can help you improve
I really want to focus on the fundamentals of the game, proper fielding and how to lay down a good bunt.
A typical training session
What a typical training session would look like with me would be starting off warming up for about 20 mins, then getting into field drills. Ground balls, feetwork, making good throws. Wrapping up the session would be batting practice and bunting. Depending on the player we might focus on more on defense or more on hitting.
Career & accomplishments
I worked at a trampoline park for 8 years and most recently was the general manager at a health clinic. Right now I am between jobs and want to give coaching a chance since sports and softball is what I'm really passionate about.
Best coach I ever had
The best coach I've ever had was on my 14u travel ball team. I lost love for the game in the summer prior to playing for him. This coach gave me the confidence and instructions suited best for me to help my game improve. That summer playing for him was the best time I had playing.
What athletes & parents should know
What athletes and parents should know about me is I'm confident in my work ethic, I am creative and flexible on training each unique individual. I want my players to be the best.

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?
AU was created by former college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
