My DD is 9 and wants to pitch. I know there are alot of coaches.
Does anyone have any personal time with Sharon Palma and what do you think?

We basically have been doing ½ hour lessons once a week. He is great on the fundamentals and getting the girls the total package of using the legs and finish together. He really gets them to place the ball where they want. I like his movement pitches that he teaches: drop-curve, peel drop, change-up. He is the right balance of encouraging and demanding. These movement pitches will come more in play for 12" balls and 12U.
I have recommended him to others and some have stuck with him and others have moved on to the other coaches you mention. You really just need to find someone that gets results with your daughter. If she is struggling to improve move on don’t pay the money if it is not working. My daughter played in first tournament this year and had 60 K’s in six games so that is enough for me. Dennis works for her.
