Best 6 coaches for lessons near Augusta, GA

My name is Calvin Coach III from Aiken, SC! I have been playing since I was 3 up until the age of 23. I spent a total of 5 years playing in collegiately, four years at Voorhees College in Denmark, South Carolina and at the University of Saint Katherine in San Diego, CA. All of my coaches in San Diego were former MLB players. Which gave me a year to soak in information from them to bring back home. Before finishing my baseball career I got a taste of playing professionally with a professional league based in Mexico (LMB) and a Pecos league team in California. I specialize in all aspects!

I played varsity tennis all four years at Denmark High School, and since moving on to UGA, I’ve stayed active in the game through Club Tennis. Beyond my own time on the court, I’ve gained a lot of fulfillment from helping others improve their game. I served as co-president for Special Pops in Athens, where I led clinics and taught tennis skills to children and adults with disabilities. That experience really sharpened my ability to adapt my coaching style to meet anyone’s needs, and I’m excited to bring that same energy and expertise to the students here in Augusta

Baseball has always been more than just a game to me — it’s a craft. I’m very detail-oriented and take pride in teaching not only the fundamentals of the game but also the mental side that makes players successful. I believe baseball is as much about preparation, focus, and mindset as it is about mechanics and skill. My goal is to help players grow in all aspects, building confidence, discipline, and a deeper love for the game.
