Softball has been a lifelong passion of mine. As a two-time Hall of Fame inductee, three-time NFCA Division I All-American, and 2005 Women's College World Series participant (DePaul University), I've played and coached at many levels. As a former PE teacher, I've seen how important a strong foundation is for young athletes. I love helping players develop fundamental skills, build confidence, and create a lasting love for the game. I would love to help!

"Coach Saskia has been experienced, patient, and wonderful at teaching my daughter the fundamentals of batting and fielding. At only 6 years old, she has felt supported and encouraged every step of the way, and it’s been such a great experience for her.
