Sophie Wery

360U Softball Instructor

"One session with Coach Sophie, that is all it took. Our daughter (HS junior) immediately felt more confidence at the plate, and tonight it all paid off. She hit her first bomb, and then decided it wasn't enough and got her 2nd one as well! Finished 3-4, 4 runs, 4 RBIs, 2 HR. Thank you and she will be back!"

Abby Garceau

360U Softball Instructor

"Abby goes out of her way to make the practices a fun learning opportunity. She is always positive and helpful! Whenever I watch the practices, the coaches are beyond positive and always smiling and encouraging the girls! They are great role models for younger girls to look up to!"

Skyler Calmes

360U Softball Pitching Instructor

"(My daughter) and I love working with Skyler because she’s patient and explains things clearly. Olivia is a quiet learner and Skyler helps her feel comfortable taking risks and learning new things."

Dan Hacker

360U Baseball Instructor

"When (our son) came home from his lesson with Dan on Wednesday night he said he worked harder with him than he does at practice. I just wanted to let Dan know that in his's game last night I have never seen him field and throw a ball like he did last night. He was on fire and every throw was right on target! When I talked to him after the game he was so proud and confident. I will definitely continue to send my boys to 360 as long as they play the sport!"

Sarah Hammerton

360U Softball Instructor

"Luci loved her first lesson! Sarah was perfect for my shy child, and made her feel very comfortable working with her. We will definitely be back to work on her throwing!"

Karson Hesser

360U Baseball Instructor

"My son did the defense baseball camp for 8 weeks with Karson. My son was always engaged and his coaches noticed how much he improved. Karson was always positive and in tune with what my son needed to work on. Overall a great experience that I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to improve their mechanics!"

Olivia Baugnet

360U Softball Instructor

"Our daughter had a HitTrax lesson with Olivia. She was very friendly and easy to talk to. She had good drills and really knew what she was talking about. Pointed out what needed to be corrected but in an easy way to understand."
