Frequently ASked Questions
1 / what makes Sd steel athletics different?
SD Steel Athletics prioritizes athlete feedback, mental training, and personalized training that suites each individual athlete. Owned and run by former collegiate softball player, Cheyanne Masterson, you get experience from a coach that has been there.
2 / my daughter wants to work on multiple parts of the game at lessons. Is that possible?
Yes! Athletes with SD Steel Athletics have the option to work on one skill for the entire hour or they can choose to work on multiple. For example, a player may decide she wants to hit and pitch at lessons. We will then just split time 30 min/30 min to fit in both of those skills.
3 / What do you charge?
One on one lessons cost $40 for an hour of training. We also offer small group and team training. For more information about those pricing packages, check out our services tab!
