HI, I'M KENNEDY.Same love. A new chapter.

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.

SMALL DETAILS.
STRONGER FOUNDATIONS.

Clear instruction, purposeful reps, and space to ask questions. A lesson built around the player—not the other way around.

01

Understand the why.

Break a skill into understandable pieces, then put them back together in practice.

02

Make the reps count.

Give each session a focus, with feedback that connects to what the player is working on.

03

Keep the love for it.

Make room for effort, questions, and progress—not just the perfect swing or play.

Before we hit the field

GOOD
QUESTIONS.

Here are a few things to know before your first session.

Ask Kennedy
What ages and experience levels can inquire?

Lessons 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.

Where do lessons take place?

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.

What should my player bring?

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.

Is the requested date automatically booked?

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.

Do you offer pitching, catching, or recruiting services?

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.

What about weather, changes, and cancellation policies?

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.

Can a parent arrange lessons for a child?

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.

Can I book with a teammate or a small group?

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.

The lesson-request form asks for an adult contact name, email, optional phone number, player age group, lesson selection, preferred area, optional date and time preferences, a message, and confirmation that the person submitting is an adult player or a parent / legal guardian.
