YOUR ELITE JOURNEY STARTS HERE
START HERE.
YOU’RE OFFICIALLY ELITE.
Welcome to Elite Pitching Academy!
Before you jump into everything inside Elite, take a few minutes to start right here.
Your goal is not to do everything at once.
It’s to learn where things are, get connected with your softball sisters, and start using Elite in a way that helps YOU grow.
Over your first two weeks, we’ll help you get comfortable, set your goals, find your starting point, and start participating in the Elite Community.
YOU ARE NEVER BEHIND. START WHERE WE ARE AND GROW WITH US.
YOUR PEOPLE ARE HERE
WELCOME TO THE ELITE PITCHING ACADEMY COMMUNITY
This is so much more than a place to find training.
It’s where Elite pitchers connect, ask questions, support each other, celebrate wins, and keep growing together.
You’ll meet girls from different teams, different states, and different stages of their pitching journey—but you’re all here for one reason:
To keep getting better together.

A NOTE FROM COACH D
WELCOME, ELITE GIRLS!
I am SO excited you’re here.
Elite Pitching Academy is about so much more than throwing better pitches.
I want to help you become a stronger, smarter, more confident pitcher—physically, mentally, emotionally, and competitively.
I’ve been through the exciting parts of this game.
But I’ve also been through injuries, setbacks, pressure, hard seasons, and moments when things definitely did NOT go according to plan.
Those experiences shaped the way I coach today.
Inside Elite, I want you to ask questions, challenge yourself, connect with other pitchers, celebrate your wins, learn through the hard moments, and keep showing up.
You don’t have to have everything figured out.
And you definitely don't have to do it alone.
We’re going to grow through this together.
LET’S GET YOU STARTED
