Hit The Mitt Coaching
Head coaches
We are always looking for coaches for our clinics! We need” head coaches”: those who have some experience coaching or teaching baseball or softball to kids ages 8-14. These coaches will be in charge of making sure that the drills we are running are done correctly and will oversee the “assistant coaches”. Our ratio will be 1 coach to 10 kids. Those will be either head or assistant. Individual sessions may have up to 55 kids.
assistant coaches
We are excited to offer older players in our community an opportunity to be a part of HIT THE MITT! We are looking for high school and college ball players to be assistant coaches. You will be assisting the head coaches in running drills and mentoring younger players, so experience working with kids would be beneficial. Our assistant coaches will be compensated for each individual session. As with the head coaches, the commitment would be the session itself (approximately 3 hours) and one meeting with other coaches and Hit The Mitt just prior to the event. We would like to have our coaches commit to both sessions of the event, if at all possible.
We hope you will commit to being a “game changer” for youth baseball players! Hit the Mitt is a small woman-owned business, rooted in the community of Saint Petersburg and the tradition of baseball. Come help us build it so “they” will come!

"Catherine aims to bring high level coaching ( some of her coaches are former MILB players and professional coaches) to all players, both new and current. Much of this is also about mentoring. Her coaches help to encourage these kids by sharing their own stories of their baseball journeys, successes, challenges, and dreams when they were younger players"
