🔴 A SERIOUS QUESTION FOR FASTPITCH SOFTBALL PARENTS 🔴Ask yourself this exact question, parents:👉 If an elite tournament team or high school program recruits your daughter because they love how she is pitching, and she is out on the mound winning big games for them, WHY WOULD YOU BREAK TO PRESSURE TO LEAVE THE VERY PITCHING COACH WHO MADE HER THAT SUCCESSFUL?Think about the timeline of your daughter's athletic journey. These young ladies will spend far more developmental years working face-to-face with me than they will ever spend with any tournament coach, high school coach, or college coach combined.Those team coaches only get them for a handful of short seasons, but the foundation, the health of her arm, and her elite skill set are built over a lifetime right here in our pitching lanes. Breaking to travel ball politics, empty promises of corporate tech-clinics, or the demands of an organization's "favored" facility makes zero logical sense when your daughter is already standing at the peak of success under the pitching coach she is currently going to.💥 "High-end showcase teams harvest talent; they do not build it." — Coach Sharon BaileyAt Perfect Form Fastpitch, it is all about clean fundamentals and uncompromised mechanics. Founded and owned by master pitching coach Sharon Bailey—who is also the proud founder, owner, and driving force behind the Carolina Comets tournament organization—alongside elite pitching coach Jennifer Bailey Giambattista, our program has the veteran experience and proven technical capability to take young pitchers all the way from their very first pitches straight to the college level.Over the last three decades, countless students have walked through our doors as children and advanced directly into college pitching careers spanning the NCAA Division I, Division II, and Division III levels.Look at the proof of what our foundational training produces:🏆 THE HISTORIC WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS:👑 Kali Morton (Rowan Little League / World Series Champions) – A historic milestone for our state! Kali trained right here at Perfect Form under the expert instruction of past instructor Sheena Bailey Shaw. Her flawless foundation and elite mechanics propelled her to the mound for Rowan Little League, leading the team to capture the very first Little League Softball World Series Championship in North Carolina history!🏆 THE PITCHING LINEAGE OF PERFECT FORM:(With the sole exception of one late-starter, every single one of these elite athletes received their foundational training directly from Coach Sharon Bailey for at least 5 years during their core childhood development!)🥎 Colbie Harmon (Lake Norman High School / South Carolina National Team) – Active Student since Age 8! Currently still taking weekly lessons at Perfect Form. Sculpting high-stride mechanics and pristine command that anchor her as a standalone ace and a premier national arm actively turning college coaches' heads across the country.🥎 Tizzy Guzman (Charlotte Private School / Cardinals Showcase) – Active Student since Age 12! A phenomenal example of rapid mechanical acceleration. Now 14 and a rising freshman, her explosive development and clean fundamentals earned her a spot on the elite Cardinals showcase team. She is actively turning college coaches' heads on the circuit, setting the stage for massive future NCAA recruitment.🥎 Kensley Loudermelk (Presbyterian College — NCAA Division I) • The Ultimate Verification of Perfect Form – Trained under Coach Sharon from her very first pitch all the way to her high school freshman year, building a masterful mechanical baseline. Under heavy pressure from her high school coach to utilize a different instructor, she temporarily left, only to return to Perfect Form later to have her mechanics completely cleaned up and restored. Because of that elite mechanical restoration, she went on to successfully sign a Division I letter of intent with the Presbyterian College Blue Hose.🥎 Sheena Bailey Shaw (Pfeiffer University — NCAA Division II) – Meticulously developed her elite, high-spin trademark rise ball (her #1 signature pitch) to completely dominate regional batters. Used her flawless Perfect Form foundation to rewrite the record books and set historic pitching records at South Iredell High School before serving as a past instructor for our program.🥎 Chelsea Wilkinson Tyler (University of Georgia — SEC) – Meticulously crafted her flawless fundamentals and explosive, high-spin trademark rise ball that turned her into an All-American icon, a Women's World Series ace, and a current SEC coach. Formed her entire foundation under Coach Sharon from age 9 until high school freshman program pressures forced a training shift.🥎 Taylor Sigmon (Western Carolina University — SoCon) – An incredible testament to accelerated training. She did not even start pitching until she was 14 years old. Under Coach Sharon's precise guidance, she rapidly engineered high-stakes mental durability and biting movement to become the #1 closing pitcher in college softball, leading the nation in late-inning saves.🥎 Morgan Peeler (North Carolina State University — ACC) – Began her training as a young child to form the dominant command and elite velocity required to face the top batters in the ACC, maintaining uninterrupted training with Perfect Form until college.🥎 Christina Melton (Campbell University — Big South/CAA) – Began her training as a young child, meticulously training the foundational mechanics and consistency required to excel at the premier mid-major collegiate level, remaining committed to Coach Sharon's weekly instruction until starting her college career.🥎 Constance Orr (University of North Carolina — ACC) • Mechanics & Control Mastery – Came to Perfect Form as a high school freshman specifically to clean up faulty mechanics and gain complete control over her pitches. Sculpted precise spin axes and explosive rotational power, maximizing her performance to a blazing top speed of 69 miles per hour before launching her dominant career for the Tar Heels.🥎 Kailey Bradshaw (Team NC / West Iredell) – Meticulously developed her elite multi-pitch arsenal—mastering every single movement pitch in the game except for a screwball—directly resulting in her historic 150-strikeout middle school milestone as a 7th grader [Team NC Hamby/Meadows 14U, West Iredell Middle School, Team NC_Hamby, WestIredellMS]. She trained continuously under Coach Sharon for five years, until her parents sent a sudden text message cutting ties in June of 2026 immediately after playing a showcase tournament [Team NC Hamby/Meadows 14U].🥎 Gabby Holloway (University of Louisville — ACC) – Began training as a young child, meticulously crafting her heavy spin and power out of Huntersville to build a record-breaking career at the Cannon School and launch an elite pitching/hitting career for the Louisville Cardinals, though her parents cut ties shortly after she began playing showcase tournaments during her freshman year of high school.🏛️ RECOGNIZED COLLEGIATE & ORGANIZATION RESUMEAppalachian State University (NCAA Division I): Served as an assistant softball coach alongside head coach Wilma "Willie" Rucker on the Boone, NC campus. Coached, trained, and built elite arms during the program's history-making inaugural seasons in the highly competitive Southern Conference (SoCon) circuit, training out of the original Appalachian 105 fields.The Carolina Comets Tournament Team: Owner, founder, and director of the prestigious travel ball organization. Built the program to provide high-level tournament competition, structured practices, and dedicated college recruitment pipelines for North Carolina fastpitch athletes.⭐ OUR PLEDGE TO THE FUTURE OF THE GAME:We strip away the gimmicks to focus entirely on absolute command, correct physical alignment, proper posture, true ball-seam spin, and the "ice in the veins" mental durability required to shut down elite hitters late in the game.Don't let outside corporate showcase tech-clinics or pipeline politics break what is already winning. Protect your daughter's arm, protect her future, and trust the foundation that has been building champions from start to finish since 1995.📍 Locations: Mooresville & Davidson, North Carolina🏅 Founder & Owner: Sharon Bailey | Pitching Coach: Jennifer Bailey Giambattista🏆 NSA National Hall of Fame Inductee | Former NCAA Division I Collegiate Coach

Everyone should watch! A replant is if your foot comes out of contact with the rubber and then when you come down if your cleats are facing down and you’re not on your toe or the side of your foot, it is considered a replant and it is illegal



Bullpens and Dugouts NFCA Rules Seminar on Pitching Replant ie Cleats Down

Locate, Locate, Locate! Learn command first!!

Everyone’s obsessed with the radar gun right now. 68…70…72… like that number is the golden ticket. Like if you hit it, everything else just magically falls into place.

It doesn’t.

I just called a game with Duke Blue Devils softball vs Tennessee Volunteers softball and let me tell you something… hitters were sitting on 77 and fouling it off like it was BP. Not guessing. Not late. On it. Because that’s the reality—these hitters see velocity ALL. THE. TIME.

You think your 70 is blowing it by them? It’s not.

Velocity is sexy. I get it. It turns heads. It looks good on social. But if you can’t locate for s**t and you’ve got one speed? You’re getting exposed. Maybe not at 10U… maybe not even at some travel ball tournaments… but step into the college game and it’s a different conversation real quick.

Because the separator isn’t how hard you throw.
It’s how annoying you are to hit.

Can you live on the edges?
Can you make them uncomfortable?
Can you change speeds so well they’re out in front one pitch and late the next?
Can you move the ball instead of just throwing it hard?

That’s the game now. And honestly… it always has been.

I’ve watched elite arms—elite—with ridiculous velo get rocked. Not because they weren’t talented… but because hitters weren’t fooled. Same speed. Same look. Same outcome.

And on the flip side? I’ve seen pitchers who don’t light up a radar gun absolutely carve… because they can spin it, place it, and mess with timing.

Stop chasing a number like it’s the only thing that matters.
It’s not.

Spin.
Location.
Change of speed.
THEN velocity.

If your whole identity is tied to how hard you throw, you’re building on a shaky foundation.

And if someone’s teaching you that velo over everything?
You might wanna rethink who’s guiding you.
