Softball - Fastpitch

As both a professional player & coach, Lamarr Rogers, owner of Blue Chip Sports Academy, has played, "talked shop" & worked with many baseball and softball players and coaches from all over the world. He has learned many of the intricate details that come with each style & form of hitting (linear, lower half, power, slap, line drive, front side etc.). As a coach, he has prided himself with the ability to be knowledgeable and flexible in all aspects of hitting.

Blue Chip staff members understand the importance of each style of hitting and how it correlates to each player's skill level, physical make-up and natural abilities. The staff consists of women and men who are trained and dedicated to providing a sound coaching service specific to the student-athlete's needs.

With many different hitting styles to choose from, we have learned that there are areas in each type of swing that share a common ground. This common ground is how many top

colleges and professional teams are now assembling their teams in order to maintain balance throughout the line-up and generate more victories on the field.

At Blue Chip, this common ground is our foundation and philosophy. With a strong foundation built under a player, any style of hitting can be developed. We are dedicated to building this foundation along with any style of hitting, to maximize the full potential of your student-athletes.
