Bio: Hi everyone!
My name is Taylor Huffman, and I would love the opportunity to help your daughter grow her skills and expand her horizons in the sport of softball.
I’ve been involved in softball for 18 years—as a player and as a coach. Over the past four years, I’ve had the privilege of coaching, including three years as the head middle school softball coach at Hamilton Township Local Schools.
While I primarily played catcher and third base, I was also considered a utility player and could fill in anywhere on the field as needed. Those two positions were just my main starting spots.
If you have any questions or would like to reach out, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your athlete!
Thank you!
