Meet your coach
I'm a former Division I softball player and Utah State University graduate. I played third base, wore number 9, and know how much work goes into the little things that make a difference on the field.
Now, I'm bringing that experience to personalized hitting and fielding instruction—helping players build their skills, confidence, and love for softball.
More than another practice
Clear instruction, purposeful reps, and space to ask questions. A lesson built around the player—not the other way around.
Break a skill into understandable pieces, then put them back together in practice.
Give each session a focus, with feedback that connects to what the player is working on.
Make room for effort, questions, and progress—not just the perfect swing or play.
Before we hit the field
Here are a few things to know before your first session.
Ask KennedyLessons are designed around the player’s needs. Beginners, recreational players, school-team athletes, travel-ball players, and adult players can inquire. Share the age group and experience level so Kennedy can confirm a good fit.
The focus is Newport Beach and the surrounding Orange County area. Choose your preferred area in the request form. Kennedy will confirm the exact approved field or training facility before a session is booked. No location is reserved by submitting a request.
Plan on a glove, water, athletic clothing, and footwear appropriate to the confirmed venue. For hitting, bring a bat and batting helmet if available. Ask about equipment needs in advance; final instructions come with the session confirmation.
No. This is a lesson-request system, not a live availability calendar. Kennedy must confirm the date, time, location, and details directly with you before the lesson is booked.
This site advertises hitting and fielding instruction. Pitching, specialized catching, and recruiting services are not listed. Send a question before booking when your player has a different training need.
Weather and field conditions can affect outdoor sessions. Kennedy will confirm the cancellation, rescheduling, and payment terms before you accept a booking. Contact her through your confirmation conversation when plans change.
Yes. A parent or legal guardian who is at least 18 should submit the request and manage communications for a minor. Do not include a child’s full name, date of birth, medical history, or other sensitive details in the website form.
Use the small-group inquiry option and tell Kennedy how many players are interested. Availability, format, location, and a group price will be discussed before anything is booked.
