GRAND OPENING PITCHING CLINICS 💎🥎

We’re officially kicking off pitching programming in the new Diamond Elite facility with Harley Rose | Softball Pitching Instructor + Courtney Cienki🥎 on Saturday, September 19!

We’re offering two different clinics based on age + experience level, so your pitcher can choose the session that makes the most sense for where she is right now.

✨FOUNDATIONS 101
Ages 8–10
9:00–11:00 AM
$85 per pitcher

Perfect for beginner + developing pitchers who are still learning the motion, building consistency, and developing a strong mechanical foundation.

✨FOUNDATIONS 201: MECHANICS + VELOCITY
Ages 11–13
11:30 AM–1:30 PM
$85 per pitcher

Designed for pitchers with a few years of experience who know the basics but want a mechanical clean-up and a better understanding of how smoother, more efficient movement can help create velocity.

Every pitcher will also receive a take-home pitching journal so she can keep track of her drills, cues, and focus points after the clinic. đź’™

We’re really excited to introduce our Junior Instructors at Diamond Elite 💎🥎

This is a great option for younger athletes, but I also don’t want people to think “junior instructor” means beginner-level coaching.

Leah and Gia are both experienced, high-level players who understand the game, understand movement, and most importantly, know how to teach it.

They’re a great fit for younger athletes who are still learning fundamentals, but they can also be incredibly valuable for middle school and high school players who want extra reps, position-specific work, more confidence, or another knowledgeable set of eyes.

✨Coach Leah English
Hitting + Fielding
Villanova commit
Unity 18U McHale
3x First Team All-County427 high school hitter

✨Coach Gia Bonsignore
Hitting + Catching
First Team All-County
First Team All-League
NJ Pride Gold 18U
Diamond Elite athlete since age 6

Both of them have spent years playing at a high level, but what makes us most excited is how well they communicate and connect with athletes.

Being a great player doesn’t automatically make someone a great coach. These two genuinely enjoy teaching, breaking things down, and helping players get better.

Whether your athlete is just starting out or already playing competitively and wants additional skill work, don’t overlook these sessions because of the “Junior Instructor” title.

These girls know the game, and they have a lot to offerđź’™

✨TIP TUESDAY ✨

Stop spending your energy on the wrong things.

Comparing yourself to another athlete, their progress, opportunities, stats, or success, only takes energy away from YOUR growth. Everyone’s journey looks different, and comparison won’t get you any closer to where you want to be.

Focus on what you can control: your effort, your attitude, your preparation, and how you show up every day.

At Diamond Elite, we’re constantly asking our athletes to try new things, push their limits, and get comfortable being uncomfortable.

Trying something new can be scary !! Thats exactly why the environment around an athlete matters so much. Positive feedback, encouragement, and support give athletes the confidence to take risks, make mistakes, learn, and keep going.

We believe progress happens when athletes feel supported enough to step outside their comfort zone. Because when you create a positive environment, you create space for confidence, growth, and success.

Get uncomfortable. Stay positive. Keep growing.
