WELCOME!  WE ARE COACHES PAUL AND WENDY SPENCE.   THE FACT YOU ARE HERE MEANS YOU LOVE THE GAME OF SOFTBALL!  IF YOU ARE READY TO BECOME THE BEST SOFTBALL PLAYER YOU CAN BE, WE CAN AND WILL HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS!!

Some coaches believe that fastpitch softball can be taught using an “off-the-shelf” or “one-size-fits all” method. In fact, such methods produce limited results. Over the years, we have come to understand that each player has specific talents and athletic abilities that can be used as cornerstones for teaching them fastpitch softball.  We would like to stress that we believe to be truly effective as instructors, it is critical to allow the students to be individual athletes.  We believe this will allow them to use their own individual strengths to develop character, self-esteem, and their skills at a greater rate. This, we believe, leads to overall success.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you too, can become great.
