Out with the old....in with the new!
There are a lot of things happening here at the House of Pitching! We are now full steam ahead with revamping the website with our friend Marc Dagenais and his crew, a very exciting change! We are in the beginning stages of hiring a graphic designer for a new logo. We are working on a few other things so stay tuned for announcements! It is time to get rid of all vestiges of the old guard and begin anew.

Wow! January was busy for the House of Pitching. Bill held lessons in three different cities and did two clinics in one weekend! February is looking to be just as hectic. This weekend Bill travels to Seattle, WA to speak at the North West All Sports Clinic and then off to Denmark for a week.
12.13.11
Bill will be in Portland, ME this coming weekend and then off for the Christmas and New Year holiday. He's back on the road to Billings, MT the first weekend in January though.
Just as a side note, he's been home 2 days from Carrollton and we're almost booked solid for the next trip!!!! And we have parents looking to book times for the March trip. We love you guys!!
10.14.11
Bill is in sunny Georgia at Pace Academy this weekend. A full day and a half of lessons with some very promising students. Then he is home for regular weekday lessons and then a weekend off for a visit with the Boo! To say we're excited would be a drastic understatement.
10.5.11
For lesson dates, please see the schedule to the right of the picture of the Boo, or the very bottom of this homepage.
9.20.11
Bill has accepted a job at the University of Georgia as the pitching coach consultant. As a perenial softball powerhouse, Bill will work with the coaches and pitchers to help bring the WCWS title to Athens, GA. As a consultant for the coaching staff, Bill will continue to live in Erie and do his regular lessons and weekend schedule but make frequent trips to UGA!
8.27.11
Clinic/lesson dates have been added. For 2011, more dates remain open for anyone interested in booking something and others will be added soon.

After finishing "co-champs" of the ASA Men's Major, the Chicago/NY Gremlins finished 2nd at the ISC World Championship in Moline IL, losing twice to the other 'co champ' of the ASA finals, Jarvis Travelers of Broken Bow, NE.
8.7.11
Bill's team, Chicago/NY Gremlins are co-champions of the ASA Men's Major National Championship played in South Bend IN. Rain washed out the championship final vs. Broken Bow NE Travelers. Both teams had 1 loss and were playing the "if" game of the championship when the skies opened cancelling the tournament and declaring co-champions. Next up for Bill's team is the ISC World Championship, where his team is currently ranked #2 then it's off to Denmark for the European Cup Championship. Season concludes over Labor Day weekend back here in the USA.

House of Pitching is pleased to announce that we now carry the
Power Push by Quinn's Unlimited.
If you've ever worked with Bill or heard his presentation, you know that he does not endorse many products, only 3 to be exact. This is one of them.
For those of us in colder climates that cannot practice outside year round, the Power Push can be an invaluable tool in correcting the bad habit of twisting the foot before push off when practicing on anything other than dirt. This tool promotes proper leg drive, helping your pitcher retain power and speed.
The Power Push is made of no break polypropylene, making it very light.
You can find and purchase the Power Push in our online store for $49.99 plus shipping, that's less than the cost of one pitching lesson!!!
