Hi everyone! My name is Taylor Huffman, and I would love the opportunity to help your daughter grow her skills and expand her horizons in the sport of softball. I’ve been involved in softball for 18 years—as a player and as a coach. Over the past four years, I’ve had the privilege of coaching, including three years as the head middle school softball coach at Hamilton Township Local Schools. While I primarily played catcher and third base, I was also considered a utility player and could fill in anywhere on the field as needed. Those two positions were just my main starting spots. If you have any questions or would like to reach out, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your athlete! Thank you! Taylor Huffman
"For me, coach Taylor was the only reason I didn’t give up on myself while playing softball throughout my middle school career. When I was on the edge of hanging up my cleats early, she supported me through every high and low I had ever encountered my entire middle school career. She has taught me a million and one things that I still continue to work on. She had taught me the mental and physical aspect of softball, always pushing me to become better and to play at my full potential. After I had finished playing softball with her as my coach, she continued to check up on me to see how I was doing with both travel and school teams. She always encouraged me to play my best and to become better no matter what level of softball I was at. To me, that is a real coach. If I had to describe a perfect coach or role model in two words, it’d simply be Coach Taylor.

I was pretty nervous coming in because I had never played tennis before but Armaan eased the environment so much and I actually learned more than I ever thought on my first session alone.
Hands down the best coach I could have asked for and I will be continuing to work with him on a weekly basis.
Elson G.
This is my first time taking up golf at the age of 49. My coach is very patient. He knows a lot of different techniques that can help someone as novice as me to someone that is a higher caliber player.
He is also very engaged and sends different video clips to help with your learning.
Himanshu S.
My coach is friendly, supportive, especially for beginners like myself.
Despite it being my first time playing pickleball, he made sure I felt comfortable and picked up the game quickly.
His enthusiasm and encouragement are contagious, making learning a joyous experience!
Jackie S.
Very easy to book right from start. Coach Jacob is very easy going and very knowledgeable. We were in same page from start of lesson with what I wanted to work on.
I'm going to work on today's lesson and I'll comeback to book more if i feel it's getting away from me again.

Connor was very patient and attentive with my wife and I. It was our first time golfing, and Connor gave us some really great advice.
Really looking forward to future lessons with him.
Jason Y.
I had never played Pickleball before and the first time I played with my coach, I learned everything about the game and how to play in a short amount of time.
The way he taught made it really easy to play and fun to learn. I really enjoy playing now!
Ryan M.
This app was a fantastic find. It paired my son with a local coach who was highly skilled and wonderful with kids.
He focused on fundamentals while building my son's confidence, and we saw real improvement both in his skills and his enthusiasm for the game.

My wife and I have never played tennis before so we were terrible at the beginning of the lesson.
Our coach gave very specific instructions and by the end of the lesson we had learned multiple swings and were hitting everything.
Darroll J.
Charlotte was amazing. This was my very first time golfing and she made me feel very comfortable and she had lots of knowledge.
I'd definitely recommend her to anyone wanting to learn.
Jocolbe P.
It provided a way to see a whole lot of coaches and reviews. Picked one and everything is done right there through the app: scheduling, communications, and payment.
It certainly couldn't be easier
