Meet Coach Syd
Hi, I'm Syd Bolton, and I'm so glad you stopped by. I'd be honored to be considered to walk along your pitching journey with you.
I recently graduated from SUNY Geneseo with a major in Adolescent Education and English. Last year I was the assistant softball coach for St. John Fisher University where I focused on working with their pitching staff. This fall, I will begin my career as a full-time English teacher at Rush-Henrietta high school.
While at Geneseo, I proudly pitched for the school's award winning softball team. It was an incredible experience that included winning two SUNYAC championships alongside my teammates.
At the end of my playing career, I knew I wanted to stay in the sport, so I began giving lessons to local girls looking to grow their game.
I’ve had the joy of giving lessons to over a hundred local softball players, helping young athletes develop their skills and love for the game. Maybe you'll be next?
