the Team Behind the Training.

COACH BRITT

Coach Britt Kelleher on the softball field

Britt grew up playing softball in upstate New York, as a left handed player she excelled at fast pitch as a teenager.  A leader on the field, she served as captain on her high school team and led her team to divisional champions her senior year.

She pitched for Division II level softball at Bryant University, in Smithfield, RI.  While in college, she worked as a camp counselor at an area softball camp, teaching young players fast pitch. It was there she learned the foundations of her future coaching techniques.

As an adult, Britt moved to the west coast and continued the love of the game. After her two daughters pursued pitching, she turned her energy to coaching players of all ages, teaching the fundamentals of pitching.

Her specialty is coaching young players to break the pitching motion into easy to learn steps. As a lefty, she faces the player, ‘like looking in a mirror’, as they follow the steps of the pitch.

Coaching for over 20 years, she has run Learn to Pitch clinics and one-on-lessons in cities such as Santa Rosa, Windsor, Sonoma, Sebastopol and Petaluma for over nine years.

Coach Paige has been playing softball at the recreational, travel, varsity and college club level for sixteen years, and coaching for seven of those. First trained by her mother Coach Britt, she has pitched for teams such as the Redwood Empire Rug Rats, Easton Elite, Maria Carrillo High School Varsity Softball, and most recently, was President of the Softball Club at her alma mater, UC Santa Cruz.

Coach Paige is available for private or group pitching and hitting lessons.

Why Mirror Image?

“Players learn by watching, emulating and repeating. As a lefty, I coach by facing a right-handed player, just like looking in a mirror. My movements are reinforced as a mirror image.”
