“
As the president of Scottsdale Miss Softball, the local youth softball league in Scottsdale, AZ, pitching instruction is something that is difficult to come by. Erika Tapia was fantastic working with a wide range of ages and skill levels, ranging from 8-14 years and beginner to experienced. Many of these girls have moved on to pitch for their club and high school teams. The foundation she provided and developed was instrumental in the success of these girls.
