Find a Softball Coach Near You

Browse the CommitBound coach directory by state. Select your state, then filter by specialty — pitching, hitting, fielding, catching, or strength and conditioning. Each coach profile shows their city, price range, years of experience, and reviews from other softball families.

Private softball lesson rates vary by specialty and region. Pitching coaches typically charge $60–$150 per hour. Hitting and fielding coaches generally range from $50–$120 per hour. Some coaches offer discounted packages for recurring lessons. Each coach on CommitBound lists their price range on their profile.

Look for a coach with experience at your target level of play — someone who has coached or played at D1 level can give different guidance than a JUCO-level coach. More importantly, look for someone who communicates well, gives constructive feedback during lessons, and tracks progress across sessions. Read reviews from parents, not just athletes.

A private coach can help you reach the skill level that college coaches expect — but the recruiting outreach itself is a separate process. CommitBound helps with both: use the coach directory to improve your skills, and use the school profiles, email templates, and outreach tools to get in front of college coaches.

A pitching coach specializes in mechanics, spin rates, pitch types, and pitching strategy. A hitting coach works on swing mechanics, approach, bat speed, and in-game situational hitting. Most serious recruits work with both — pitchers still need to hit in many conferences, and position players benefit from having specialized instruction beyond what a travel ball or school coach can provide.
