Train With Carly

Happy Spring Everyone!! Since warmer months are approaching, I’ve been getting so many requests for lessons than ever before, so here’s an update for lessons during the warmer months.

1. Yes, I still do lessons during the week :)even though this page can get a little quiet. I am super busy during the week, so if I forget to respond to you or you haven’t heard from me in awhile, please reach out!

2. Yes, I will accept new people if I have availability. You are more than welcome to reach out and I can provide my availability to you, but please note that the people who have been with me the longest will get first opportunity in times/days.

3. I will still be doing all of my lessons in Columbia at the Power Alley since this is the most central location from people coming up north and south.

4. If you need to change your weekly spot since season is approaching please reach out. If you need to cancel your lesson please do so a couple days in advance since I have a list of people wanting to get in with me!

5. Yes, I do still offer throwing to teams, but this girl has been throwing for years and her body is feeling it now :)so those spots are very limited.

Thanks for everyone sharing my name as well. My goal is just to develop not just athletes, but people along the way, so it’s very much appreciated than words can say 🫶🏻.

I have received A LOT of new inquiries for lessons and new faces on here, so I thought I'd reintroduce myself.

Hi, I'm Carly👋👋. I'm based out of Columbia, MO and I've been giving lessons for over 7 years now. I offer hitting and pitching lessons as well as throwing to teams or even being your sounding board through the craziness of youth softball.

I played college softball at Millikin University and studied biology. You may hear about science in your lessons (apologize in advance😆) as I am a science nerd through and through. I'm a huge dog lover, enjoy reading, and buying iced coffees as well.

I structure my program where I will push you out of your comfort zone, but solely believe that is how we can reach your goals. I may ask you a lot on how a pitch or swing makes you feel, so that you will become your own best coach and inner dialogue. I love mentoring young girls on how to become their best selves not only in the game but in all areas of their life.

My availability becomes very tight during the week, and I do my scheduling as people reach out to me. I will not ask or reach out to you about scheduling your lesson each week. I've learned this has kept my lessons more committed to their own success and hard work.

That's all for now. Excited to get to work💪!!

Hi friends👋!! Since fall season is coming to a close and winter is upon us, I wanted to give an update. I will be doing all of my lessons at the Power Alley in Columbia still since this is centrally located for all of my lessons. Also, I will accept new clients if time is available, but opportunities are limited. For scheduling purposes, former, current, and new clients will still need to reach out to me weekly. Once a month, biweekly, or any time frames do work for me, so a week to week basis is not a requirement. Reach out for availability as my weeks tend to fill up very fast!

Challenged Cassy to see how fast she could be in her pitch! A lot of times beginner pitchers don’t understand that they are faster and stronger than they think, so I like to set up drills for them to feel how fast they actually are. The typical question I ask my lessons is “How much effort do you think you are giving?” and that usually sets the tone for these speed drills. Cassy crushed the challenge and got so much better!!

Hey everyone! I've had some people reach out to me about weekly schedules. Due to demand and availability I have switched to a client focused schedule rather than posting a schedule each week. This means clients must reach out to me for scheduling purposes. I have availability for 1-2 more weekly lessons for the rest of September and October. I tend to be at the Power Alley on Mondays, Tuesdays and some Sundays. I will switch to posting weekly availability during the late fall/winter months. Hope everyone's high school season and fall is going well!

Last weekly schedule for the summer that I just drafted! Keep in mind if I have an hour in between lessons I will reach out to you and see if you could move right after a lesson has ended. I will be in Columbia starting next week at the Power Alley. I can add more spots on Sunday in Tuscumbia if needed. I will schedule high school or middle school athletes who are in season as priority on weekends. If your time is not confirmed, please PM or text me to schedule.

LAST call for lessons for this upcoming week that starts tomorrow! Usually I will reach out and confirm times. I’m starting to not do that anymore to get everyone used to the new scheduling methods. If you have a consistent time, you MUST reach out to me and confirm your time! Spots are filling up FAST and I’m not adding anymore spots for the week.

Schedule for the Week of August 11th! If I have not confirmed a time with you or sent the schedule to you, please reach out! I have opened up 2 more spots on Sunday and opened up some more morning times to adjust for high school practices starting up this week. I will be in Tuscumbia and Osage Beach on Thursday as well!

**Important Update - Please read the below information and attached documents for scheduling information for the fall, new payment expectations, live at bats, and working with your team practices. Will go into effect the week of August 25th, 2025.**

Starting August 25th, 2025 I will be doing ALL lessons at the Power Alley in Columbia and moving from the lake area. I will be starting graduate school at Mizzou and WILL still continue to do lessons, but I will be centrally located up there. There may be opportunities where I will hold lessons in the Jeff City or Osage Beach area, but I cannot promise that. This will allow me to also better serve my lessons with a “home base” and a facility. My last week doing lessons in the lake and Jeff City area will be August 18th, 2025.
