CASEY COOPER
SOFTBALL
I’ve been coaching youth in both baseball and softball from rec leagues through competitive travel ball for the past 8 years. I love helping players find it in themselves to reach their potential with positive reinforcement and personalized instruction based on what the player needs and wants.
I focus on Defense, Fielding, Throwing, Infield, Outfield, First Base, Catchers, and Hitting for Softball.
I’m also a KHSAA certified umpire for both Baseball and Softball, and provide instruction to people interested in becoming an umpire in the Louisville area.
I’ve spent 20+ years in the Military, have a beautiful wife and three children, and love the sports of baseball and softball with a passion that translates into every lesson.
