"Bella is having so much success at the plate this summer! Her batting average continues to climb and her typical ground outs are few and far between. She’s had lots of hits, multiple doubles and even a triple!!!! Bianca was the perfect batting coach for her this spring!!"

"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 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!"

"Just wanted to say Hannah did a fantastic job with Grace yesterday and made her feel comfortable and confident!

"Throughout all of my years at 360U, I have been privileged to learn from many of the softball pitching coaches on staff. Of course, I love them all (because they’re amazing), but Raygan has gone above and beyond to help me understand what I am able to achieve as a softball pitcher. She understands my struggles, connects with me, and always boosts me up when I am down. She encourages me to keep going, is very creative, and always helps me adjust pitches to my preference! I am SO grateful that she came here from North Carolina, and can't wait for my next lesson! "

"Coach Mia has been a wonderful coach for our daughter to work with. Coach Mia's knowledge and enthusiasm for softball has shown through my daughter's vast improvement. My daughter ends her lessons with a big smile and asking when her next lesson with Coach Mia will be. Thanks for being such a great role model for our young women."

"(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."

"Our daughter loved her lesson with Haylie and she felt that is got better at back hands. She'll definitely be using 360U more often to improve on her softball skills! Thank you, Haylie!"

"Abby, it is nice to see the commitment you have to the player after the lesson and even during the lesson. She left very excited and energized to do more with softball. After the session she was asking to go back and learn more she also really enjoyed your coaching style."

"My daughter was very lucky to have chosen Karleigh for her pitching coach. Karleigh has the ability to not only give great training, but was also able to connect with my daughter on a personal level. After every training session, my daughter felt more confident with her pitching. The atmosphere that Karleigh and 360U created has made my daughter always wanting to go back for more lessons."

"Paeton is really good and positive with the girls. (Our daughter) improved tremendously after just one lesson with her. She does a good job explaining things in a way they understand!"

"Coach Hannah has great feedback to make improvements and knows when I am ready to try harder drills and new pitches! She is always positive and helpful! I notice whenever I watch the practices she is beyond positive and always smiling and encouraging the girls!"

"Thank you very much Maggie! (Our daughter) really enjoyed today and loved working with you. I'm grateful that she was able to connect with you. Today seemed to give her some new life!"

"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!"

"I highly recommend 360U! My son loves his lessons with Coach Greg. He is so patient and always positive and has given him so many great tips along with building his confidence."

"Bryce had a great time it is very first session today. Jarrett really knows his stuff! Bryce was eager to use all the things that Jarrett taught him with his new bat we just bought him. Definitely going to be using your facility more in the future! "

"Zach Radde gave excellent feedback and tips during our son’s hitting lesson. He’s looking forward to coming back again, thank you."

"Ryan effortlessly identified the most effective way for each child to learn and adjusted his teaching style accordingly. Ryan's positive and energetic attitude never faltered, Oliver made significant progress in a short amount of time. Ryan's approach truly made a difference in Oliver's journey."

"Our son really enjoyed working with Garrett last time and can't wait to get another lesson with him!"

"Coach Alex checks all the boxes you’d like to see from a good instructor; knowledgeable, passionate, motivating, patient, and most importantly, fun! Alex has done a great job of challenging our son to test himself and be the best he can be. He just finished up a 6 week training program with Alex, and can’t wait for the next one to start."

"Our son really took to the coach and lesson he received. His whole demeanor turned around, thank to Coach Kenny. We want to book with him again since our son had such a good experience with him!"
