Experienced tutor in Softball in Goodyear, DJ offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Coach Dj makes everything super fun and does an amazing job at explaining everything to help me improve.

My overall experience with Coach Dj is fantastic. I've grown so much as a pitcher from my first session to my last one. I've improved in so many aspects of pitching and continue to improve on my mechanics, control and speed. My sessions are not repetitive which I love, there's the days when coach has me focus on my not so good pitches from previous games and then the other days we focus on my strengthening and conditioning.

Coach is very supportive and motivating thru out our sessions. His knowledge of the game is amazing.

Thank you coach DJ for the support, encouragement and your believe in me.

We like the total work out. He is part of everything. Pre stretch and warm ups and post stretching and cool down every session. The athletes well being comes first. Communicates well with the athlete and works on key items. The mixture of the sessions keeps the athlete in tune and attentive. Not one session is the same. His attention to detail in pitching is great. He is very positive and the athlete understand what he is expecting of them. We really appreciate his understanding of the student athletes and his willingness to work with her one on one.

Coach DJ is an incredible coach. He is patient and understanding when teaching but also firm and drives his players to reach their potential as a player. He was one of the best coaches I had in my entire 9 years of playing softball. As a catcher, he played to my strengths and was able to use those strengths to improve where I needed help. He is really great at identifying strengths in general, my entire softball career, I had been playing catcher, he helped me not only improve as a catcher, but also pushed me to try outfield, where I also excelled. I strongly recommend Coach DJ Staflin for your private softball lesson needs.

I will always remember Coach DJ as one of the best coaches I ever had growing up. He taught me many lessons on and off the field, some that I still carry with me today. I really like how Coach DJ focuses on how players can become better. He is able to help by making adjustments and changes to technique in order to make players as good as they can possibly be!

Coach DJ made such a huge impact in the way I approached training. He was able to take Previously learned skills that had bad habits associated with them and train me to rebuild the muscle memory to better my pitching. In all the years of softball, by far coach DJ was the most impactful and left a lasting impression on what an amazing coach can do for you. He strives for greatness and will bring out the best in your ability due in part to his wealth of knowledge and dedication to the sport.

Coach DJ was my high school and club ball pitching coach. He was patient, and knew how to uses my strengths to my advantage. He kept drills fun and connected the movements to help you better understand your mechanics. I would not have been the successful player I was without his guidance. Highly recommend him to anyone that is looking to strengthen your game.

I worked with Coach DJ from my freshman year of high school softball up to my senior year. He really challenged not only my physical abilities but also my mental toughness. Coach DJ also made sure that I understood what he was teaching me and WHY it was important; He never gave up and always stayed positive when coaching me. His coaching style made me really believe in myself and taught me that there wasn't anything I couldn't do. He also made practices, pitching lessons, and circuit training days fun and exciting. There wasn't a day that went by that I wasn't excited to see and work with Coach DJ. I will always look back at my pitching/softball career and remember how Coach DJ really shaped me into the player I was back then and even the person I am now off the field. I wouldn't look any further for a pitching or catching coach, this is it!

I was fortunate enough to have DJ as a coach while attending Desert Edge High School. As a player, I always felt like he coached with the perfect mix of motivation and discipline. His knowledge for the game both offensively and defensively continues to grow as the game of fast pitch evolves.

Coach DJ has been on my coaching staff the last two season at Desert Edge High School. His main focus with the program is pitching and catching. He has great knowledge of the pitching/catching positions and the skills necessary to be successful at them. He has a wide range of drills needed to provide a starting point and progression for all skill levels. I definitely recommend Coach DJ for any pitching or catching lessons you may need.

This is going to be hard to keep short. Coach DJ was the best coach I ever had in my softball career. He always encouraged us to be the best we can be and making us feel like we could conquer anything. Even his drills were well thought out and made us better and better. You would be lucky to have even one season with coach DJ!

Coach DJ is an amazing coach who personally took an interest in me seeing my potential and helped me grow as an athlete and a person. I’ve played many different sports throughout the years, dealt with several coaches, and not every coach helps each individual on a team, but he did. Coach DJ is by far one of my favorite and respectable coaches. You won’t be disappointed!

Coach DJ is fantastic at what he does! I had the privilege of being coached by him in some of his first years and can honestly say he's helped shape the person I am today. He's detail oriented with fundamentals, patient with beginners and veterans alike, and extremely motivating. As a pitcher, he was able to teach me the accuracy I needed when I did not quite have the speed. I would recommend his lessons to anyone who is serious about this sport because he will put your best interest forward.

He explains each drill and what it is designed to focus on. He has a great attitude and a special way way of developing pitchers. My daughter and I saw immediate results after the first lesson. My daughter has a better command of her position and the game. She has increased her speed and has better control of her pitches. My daughter likes the conditioning portion prior to her throwing and she believes that part of the training is what will set her apart from the others. My daughter likes the one on one time with Coach DJ.

I came to coach DJ with a love for the sport but not a lot of talent and was intimidated on the field. Coach taught me how to have confidence and find the best technique for myself, to help me learn and grow as a player. I went from being a bench warmer to being the starting catcher for a while season. Being in high school I would get upset over sometimes the smallest things and he alway helped put things in perspective. My time being coached by DJ was the best I had ever played and by far the best experience. He taught me things on and off the field that I still use to this day. He’s a great coach and knows exactly what he’s talking about. Sometimes it may not make sense at that moment but he’s always looking at the bigger picture.

Coach DJ is an amazing Coach! His love for the game, passion, and time he puts into his players is really awesome to see! He truly cares about these girls and their future! My daughter is a catcher at Desert Edge High School and she just loves working with him! Her skill has improved so much since she’s worked with Coach DJ! The drills and workouts he implements have really improved her skill! Thank you Coach DJ for all your time and coaching! We appreciate you!

Coach DJ was always a steady coach who understood how to push you without you feeling under pressure. He taught me how to rein in my wild pitches and knew exactly when I was ready for the next step or a new pitch. I wasn't the most confident of pitchers but Coach DJ would say the exact right thing to ground me again and raise the trust in myself through his belief in me. I will always highly recommend him as a coach for another aspiring athlete!

Coach DJ invested more time in me as an athlete than any other coach I have ever had and I have played numerous sports from the age of 9-college years. He was one of the best mentors I have ever had, he is very knowledgeable about pitching and softball in general, and he literally destroyed me in conditioning! I played Varsity softball all four years of high school with DJ as my pitching coach, was selected to play in Hawaii for club USA representing the state of Arizona my senior year, and even made it to play in college on a ful ride scholarship. I am grateful to DJ being my coach, mentor, and friend and he has made a lasting impression on me that I will treasure forever.

I loved having coach DJ as a coach he taught me how to be more versatile and how to improve my skills as a player! He is one of the best coaches I have had in my 10 years of playing!

I started my first season with Coach DJ as a timid, insecure, but driven player. I needed to know how to sharpen my skills, because I knew I loved playing the game. I ended my season being a top player, with confidence to carry me through the rest of my years in ball. Coach DJ developed not only my ball skills, but character skills in me as well. Out of my 13 years playing, he was the best coach I had. Forever grateful!

It has come to my attention that Coach DJ Staflin is starting a business providing private lessons in pitching & catching. As the Head Varsity Coach of the DEHS softball program, during 2007 & 2008 softball
seasons, and again in 2016 as the Head Varsity Coach of the Millennium High School
program, I had the distinct pleasure of coaching along side Coach DJ. I knew from the
first time I met him that he had a special gift when dealing with our student athletes. His
expertise in the areas of leadership, mentoring, and discipline greatly exceeded my
expectations of a varsity coach. Further, he is very knowledgeable in the sport of softball,
with an emphasis in pitching and catching. He is a person that is well respected
amongst the Agua Fria Unified District staff, the student-athletes, and the parents. His
unique ability to connect with young adults and inspire them to achieve to the best of
their ability makes him the ideal candidate a coach your athlete. I've obviously witnessed what he's able to accomplish coaching in a group setting, I can only imagine the successes your athlete will experience from one-on-one coaching with Coach DJ.

As the former Softball Head Coach at Desert Edge High School and current Head Football Coach at Mesa Community College, I have known Coach DJ Staflin since 2003, and also spent two seasons coaching softball with him at Desert Edge High School. In that time, I witnessed many young women experience success on the softball field, and achieve a high level of character and integrity. His professionalism, attention to detail, and knowledge of the game is second to none. Coach DJ is directly responsible for assisting with and building the foundation upon which Desert Edge High School's softball programs successes have been achieved. I can recommend Coach DJ without any reservations as I am confident that he will provide any student athlete he comes in contact with the necessary tools to be successful both on and off the field.

I am writing as the varsity softball coach at Dobson High School. I have known Coach DJ for 10 years and hired him to coach my Junior Varsity team in 2012. He did an exemplary job as a JV coach and as my varsity assistant. He had a very good rapport with the players on all levels. He was disciplined but fair with his players, always teaching life lessons. and dealt with parents in a professional manner. Coach DJ has an extremely high level of knowledge of softball, especially in the area of pitching and catching, and was instrumental with my transition from baseball to softball. Whether coaching individual lessons or high school softball, Coach "DJ" Staflin's integrity and hard work is beyond approach.
