"When my daughter Ally was 8 years old, she expressed interest in playing sports. We put her on MYAA teams but noticed she was getting very hard on herself while practicing and playing with the other girls. We found Nikki for private lessons and so much changed. Nikki’s gentle coaching helped Ally learn more about the game and focused on building confidence. She taught Ally how to be strong physically and mentally on the field. It’s been incredible to watch her skills and determination grow during the course of lessons and beyond. Thank you Nikki!
