Pitching

Our comprehensive pitching program caters to every level of pitcher, from beginners to advanced players. Using cutting-edge Rapsodo technology, we analyze ball flight and mechanical adjustments in real-time, allowing for data-driven improvements. Our expert coaches work closely with each athlete to develop a diverse pitch repertoire, enhance accuracy, and increase velocity. For post-puberty athletes, we incorporate regular movement screenings to ensure proper form and prevent injuries. Whether you're looking to master the basics or refine your technique for college recruitment, our pitching classes will elevate your game to new heights.

Our in-person pitching roster is currently full and we are not onboarding new athletes at this time. Our remote training programs with our coaches are available. Please join our waitlist for future opportunities!

Strength Training

Our strength training classes are designed specifically for fastpitch softball players, focusing on building functional strength that translates directly to on-field performance. We offer specialized programs for both pre-puberty and puberty athletes, teaching fundamental movement patterns crucial for softball success. Our workouts emphasize core stability, lower body power, and upper body strength, all tailored to prevent injuries and enhance athletic performance. By incorporating sport-specific exercises and progressions, we ensure that every rep in the weight room contributes to better pitching, hitting, and fielding on the diamond.

Hitting

Our hitting classes combine the latest technology with time-tested techniques to develop powerful, consistent batters. We emphasize a holistic approach to hitting, focusing not just on mechanics but also on the mental aspects of batting. Using advanced video analysis and swing tracking technology, we help hitters understand and improve their swing path, contact point, and power generation. Our coaches work on developing a strong mental approach at the plate, teaching strategies for pitch selection, situational hitting, and maintaining focus under pressure. From perfecting your stance to mastering the art of hitting to all fields, our comprehensive hitting program will transform you into a feared presence at the plate.

Defense

Led by former Purdue softball player and Lafayette Jeff graduate Emilee Cox, our defense classes are both innovative and effective. We focus on developing explosive, efficient footwork for quick reactions and smooth transitions. Infielders and outfielders alike benefit from our comprehensive approach to glove-work, learning techniques to field grounders, catch fly balls, and make strong, accurate throws. Through a combination of drills, game-like scenarios, and personalized coaching, we help players sharpen their defensive instincts and become reliable assets in the field. Our goal is to build confident defenders who can handle any play that comes their way.

Image

Catching

Our catching classes focus on developing well-rounded, elite-level catchers through a combination of proven techniques and advanced training methods. We emphasize not only the physical skills-such as blocking, framing, and efficient throwing-but also the mental aspects of the position. Using video analysis and personalized instruction, we help catchers refine their mechanics, improve their game awareness, and enhance their communication with pitchers. We work on building strong situational awareness, teaching strategies for field leadership, pitch calling, and maintaining composure under pressure. From perfecting your throw-downs to mastering field control, our comprehensive catching program will elevate your game behind the plate.

TESTIMONIALS

What Our Clients Say

"Accelerated Fastpitch Academy is much more than a softball training facility. Audra has created a culture in which every athlete is encouraged and empowered to grow in the sport and in life. The impact that AFA has had on my daughter and countless other athletes has been extraordinary."

Darrel Bossung

Parent of Athlete

"When our daughter was 9 she asked to learn how to pitch. We asked around for who was the best to help teach her and Audra's name was given to us. K has been with Audra for two and a half years and she has taught much more than just pitching. She has helped her with self confidence, poise under pressure, and how to compete in the circle."

Kelly and Brooke Kitchel

Parents of Athlete

"Accelerated Fastpitch Academy is the piece of the softball puzzle that this area has been missing for a while. Audra has 100% been a very important part of Mollys softball career so far in more ways than just being a pitching/hitting instructor. Mollys goal has been to play softball at the next level and Audra not only made sure that she was on the right track and doing the right things in the gym to prepare her for that but also helping her with the recruiting side of things. Helping make contact with coaches, sending emails and making phone calls these are things you're not directly paying for when you are taking lessons with Audra. She just does it because she believes in the girls and wants to see the sport grow in a positive way."

Jeremiah Davis

Parent of Athlete

"Audra understands that each athlete is different and she takes the time to get to know them. She tailors their training to reflect that. She works with her athletes on not only the physical aspect but the mental aspect as well. We love Audra and AFA!"

Ridenour Family

Parents of Athlete

"From being one of the first girls working with Audra to watching her build the academy, is surreal. Softball has been a game that has taught us so much, but Audra May and the Accelerated Fastpitch Academy has become a home away from home. From the academy we've learned so many skills on the field, but also so many in life. We credit much of our successes and we both think that without Audras leadership, we would not be playing division one softball today. Gratefulness does not even encompass the thankfulness we feel for all the opportunities we've had with her. We always joke that we grew up together, from almost 12 years ago in a small basketball gym, to now."

Emma and Anna Henderson

Athletes

"Coach Audra May is first an amazing human being. An amazing teacher who starts with the basics. Students will be taught and understand the whys of the basics. The foundation of all positions starts with the basics. Coach Mays is dedicated, encouraging, caring and LOVES to share all her knowledge to each student so they will become outstanding young women who also LOVE softball. One of the best teachers I have ever been around. Sorry but I can't forget the fun they will have. Coach is so much fun to be around. She LOVES her players, forever. 5+ Star for sure."

Gerry Olinghouse

Parent of Athlete

"Audra rocks!!!! She is such a great teacher and so patient. She has so much experience in the softball world. I would recommend her with 1 million stars if I could!!!"
