HELP HER LEARN TO PITCH WITH CONFIDENCE
Prodigy Pitching Academy gives your daughter a clear, step-by-step way to learn fastpitch pitching at home. She’ll start with the basics, and you’ll know what to look for and how to help between practices.

SHE CAN LEARN AT HOME WITHOUT FIGURING IT OUT ALONE
When your daughter is just learning to pitch, it’s easy to get stuck. Maybe she’s unsure about a movement, or maybe she finally threw a strike and can’t wait to tell someone.
I want her to have a place for BOTH of those moments.
Inside the Prodigy community, your family can ask questions, connect with other beginner pitchers, and celebrate the little wins that make her want to pick up the ball again.
MEET HER PITCHING POSSE
Introduce yourselves and get to know other pitchers and families who are learning right alongside you.
ASK ABOUT HER MECHANICS
Use PPA Mechanics/Q&A when you’re unsure what to work on. The Guide to Success shows you how to share practice videos and what to expect from coaching feedback.
CELEBRATE THE FIRSTS
Her first strike. Her first inning. The drill that finally clicked. Share those moments in PPA Success Stories and cheer on another pitcher, too!
Parents, if you’ve ever caught a bullpen and thought, “I’m not sure what to tell her next,” you have a place to ask. And ladies, you have a place to share the work you’re proud of!
SHE WANTS TO PITCH
WHERE DO YOU START?
Maybe your daughter just asked to try pitching. Maybe she’s already throwing, but neither of you is sure what she should work on next.
I built Prodigy for that stage. We start with grip, stance, posture, and the basic pitching motion. From there, she can build toward better control, accuracy, and spin at a pace that works for her.
Parents, you don’t need to know pitching to help her get started. I’ll show you what she’s learning and give you ways to support her at home.
WHAT'S INSIDE
A CLEAR PLAN FOR HER NEXT PRACTICE
PITCHING FUNDAMENTALS
Learn the basic motion in order, starting with grip, stance, and posture before moving into accuracy and spin.
LESSONS SHE CAN REVISIT
Follow video demonstrations, practice the movements, and use short quizzes to check what she understands.
FEEDBACK & COMMUNITY
Use mechanics feedback to see what to work on next and connect with other families learning alongside you.
MINDSET & PARENT TOOLS
Help her reset after a tough pitch. Use the parent and coach guides to reinforce what she’s learning between practices.
PARENT SUPPORT
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE HER PITCHING COACH
Parents, I know what it’s like to want to help and wonder whether you’re saying the right thing.
Start with one question after practice: “What were you working on today?”
Give her a chance to explain it in her own words. When you both understand the focus, it’s easier to encourage her and keep practice simple. That’s why I included guidance for YOU inside Prodigy, too.
WHAT PRODIGY FAMILIES ARE SAYING
MEET YOUR COACH
Hey, I’m Coach D! My background in softball and education shapes how I teach. When a movement feels complicated, I break it down so your daughter knows what to try on her very next rep.
I want her to understand WHY she’s doing a drill, feel comfortable asking questions, and learn how to move on after a tough pitch. And I want you to feel confident helping her along the way.
ENROLLMENT
