"My son loves working with Coach Calhoun. The ability he has to meet my son where he was performing and then make a plan with measurable steps of growth — in combination with his know-how, technology use, flexibility of teaching strategies, genuine listening skills, and his love of the sport — make him a great private instructor."

FAQ
Questions Parents Ask Before They Call
What age does TAP Athletes work with?
We work with pitchers ages 8 and up. Foundations is designed specifically for younger and newer athletes. The Academy and Train Unprompted™ programs are best suited for athletes who already have some pitching experience.
Do you offer private instruction outside of programs?
Yes. We offer individual instruction, group sessions, live at-bats, and Rapsodo scripted bullpens outside of our structured programs. Classes are also available as standalone bookings with no long-term commitment required.
What makes TAP Athletes different from a private pitching coach?
A defined curriculum, measurable outcomes, and a structured environment where athletes train alongside other pitchers. Every session has a purpose and every program has a real finish line — not just ongoing lessons with no clear destination.
