Softball has long been a sport where the difficulty of tasks in-game differs substantially from the difficulty of practice on the field and in the cage.

3 Components of a Complete Hitter:
Bat Speed
Bat to Ball Skills
Swing Decisions

At Perfect Performance we insert hitters into an individualized, group environment that seeks to recreate the challenge of ingame hitting. Leveraging data with a physics based approach, there is no guess work in our pursuit of helping athletes achieve their goals.

Softball hitting development has been a relatively limited concept, as baseball receives the most nuanced attention in driving the game forward. Taking the foundational concepts of a complete hitter, categories such as bat speed play an even bigger role in softball (larger ball and smaller field of play) making its development even more valuable to player performance at the plate.

In addition to hitting, Perfect Performance offers pitching development for both youth and advanced players at our state of the art indoor facility in Tysons Corner, VA.

Perfect Performance Softball offers:

• ​Hitting Training 
• Pitching Training 
• Catching Training
• ​Performance Training​

Alyssa Lavine

Hitting Coach

Alyssa comes from a military background and began to focus on softball when her family moved to Ashburn, Virginia. At 12 years old, Alyssa made the decision to switch from batting right to left to become a triple-threat at the plate. She could bunt, slap, and hit for power. Alyssa attended Briar Woods High School where she was ranked "Top 10 Softball Players in Loudoun County" two years in a row, and was ranked in "The Best Players in USSSA Baseball and Fastpitch Softball"  in 2013 and 2014.

Alyssa went on to play NCAA Division 1 Softball at Howard University where she pursued a degree in Elementary Education. Due to a knee knee injury she was only able to hit as a substitute, but as a Freshman she still led the team in triples, RBIs, home runs, and had an on-base percentage of .349, an slugging percentage of .435, OPS (on-base + slugging percentage) of .784.

Alyssa's love for the game began at an early age, and she wants to instill the same love for the game in the players she coaches.
