It's all about location, much like with pitching. Long Island, NY is absurdly expensive for everything. Making less than $150K per year here is tough for families. Personally, I can't wait to get out of here, but I'm stuck here for now.Sorry - but this jumped out at me!! $120 per hour for pitching lessons??!! I need to quit saving lives for a living and teach pitching!
On a serious note - that seems pretty high to me. We’ve been lucky that DD’s PC charges $50/HR and produces numerous D1-D3 pitchers, plus has 2 recent back-to-back Gatorade POY for our state (most likely will have 3 after this HS season is over).
May I ask why so much? Does your PC rent space at a facility for lessons or own their own place? Is that the norm for your area?
The trainer is worth every penny. Her father coached at Hofstra for 25 years and is a legend in college softball. Larissa Anderson from Mizzou is his protege. Sarah Cornell is her most recent top D1 player, and she's sent plenty of other girls to D1, too.
Is it expensive? Yes, but that's the cost of doing business where I live.
