My programs are simple: I will combine your goals as a team or individual with my expertise to recognize any biomechanical weaknesses and go from there. I will observe and correct any biomechanical errors in order for the players to have the most efficient movements possible. Unlike many other instructors, I incorporate mental strength and visual mechanics into every lesson.
1 - 4 lessons = $40/half hour (pay as you go)
5+ lessons = $35/half hour (paid up front)
- Please contact me for outside rates during the Spring, Summer, & Fall!!
See the “My Site News” link on the left for more information on how the first lesson works!

“THROW ‘EM OUT”: INCREASE THROWING VELOCITY
(off-season training only: November - March)
-
8 Weeks (16 sessions), 24 Total Hours – COST: $200/player ($12.50 per 90 min session)
-
INQUIRE ABOUT TEAM RATES!
-
This program will focus on increasing players’ arm strength and flexibility. Throwing Velocity is different than normal clinics or private lessons. Each session includes shoulder strengthening using tubing, medicine balls, and weights. The end result will be an increase in throwing velocity and help in shoulder injury prevention.
This program is for serious ballplayers who have a strong work ethic, desire to improve overall fitness, and are self-motivated to put in the extra time to get to the next level. This program is for all players that want to increase throwing velocity, however this is not a “How to Throw” clinic.

Testimonials:
"Sharlla has been my daughter's hitting coach for more than two years. My daughter is 13 years old, plays on a 15U travel team that plays in 16U tournaments and she consistently hits every game. Sharlla's one on one hitting instruction has enabled her to successfully hit off any pitcher (fast or slow), as Sharlla has trained her to track the ball and adjust the timing of her swing based on pitch location and pitch speed. We highly recommend Sharlla as a hitting coach/instructor as her expertise & ability to break down a batter's swing has produced AMAZING results!" -Mom of current 13U player playing for a 16U team
***
"When my daughter decided she wanted to make the transition from in-house to travel softball at age 11, I was concerned that she would have a tough time. Fortunately, we found Sharlla. She was able to correct my daughter's swing and teach her how to bunt, fake bunt and swing, drag bunt, and slap. At the beginning of her first travel season, my daughter was at the bottom of the batting order. By mid-season she was a dependable, versatile lead-off batter. Sharlla instilled, in my daughter, a confidence at the plate that I never thought was possible in such a short period of time. --Mom of current DuPage Pumas 14U player
