Book Private Softball Lessons with Coach Katie
I’m a Costa Mesa native who has been passionate about softball for the past six years. Starting my journey as a freshman in high school, I was incredibly fortunate to earn a full scholarship to play at California State University of Northridge. However, life took an unexpected turn, and I found myself returning home. I then had the opportunity to play two meaningful years at Orange Coast College, just around the corner from where I grew up. That experience allowed me to conclude my softball career in a way that felt truly fulfilling.

How I can help you improve your game:

Giving back to the community is important to me, and I go to great lengths to support the athletes I work with, helping them succeed in every aspect of life..

Training programs are tailored to each athlete's individual needs and goals, as well as my initial assessment of their skills. I incorporate a diverse range of drills and techniques, focusing on the fundamental aspects of both hitting and fielding.

What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am a former Division I athlete with a rich background in competitive sports, having also played at the junior college level. My journey in softball began just five years ago, but my dedication and hard work allowed me to earn a full athletic scholarship to compete at the Division I level. This experience has been incredibly rewarding, and I'm now grateful to have the opportunity to contribute to the Los Angeles Harbor College softball team as an assistant coach. In this role, I primarily focus on developing our outfield players and enhancing their hitting skills, fostering a supportive and competitive environment for our 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.
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!
