Cutting Edge Softball

★★★★★Scott Yamamoto

My daughter has been taking pitching lessons with Coach Teri for 2 years, and it has by far been the best decision we have made for her development. Coach Teri has not only helped to improve her technique, but also has taught her about the mental side of pitching. She has a unique ability to make the sessions enjoyable, but also intense and focused. My daughter looks forward to her lessons every week, and we highly recommend Coach Teri to everyone we speak with.

My daughter has been doing pitching lessons with coach Teri for almost a year now and she has grown so much. The attention to detail is phenomenal. I am the head coach of a team and 3 of my pitchers go to CES and they are all doing so good. I recommend CES very much if you are looking for the next step in pitching and hitting. All the instructors are excellent at what they do. Leann is great and so is Ron. Also their summer camp is the best.

Cutting Edge Softball (CES) provides an excellent environment for players to develop their skills in all aspects of the game. Leann, Ron, Teri, and the rest of the CES staff are highly professional, each offering top-level instruction and expertise. Both of my daughters have been taking weekly lessons with Leann for over a year. During this time, they have both excelled, and their results on the field speak for themselves. Leann has a unique approach that utilizes each player's strengths to hone​ in their potential while challenging them to reach new goals and personal records. The confidence, mental toughness, and improved approach my daughters have gained over the last season​ is truly remarkable.​ The girls love sending in updates about their weeks and CES does a really good job recognizing and supporting their clients on socials. Thanks Cutting Edge!!

Cutting Edge Softball has been an incredible experience for our family, and I can’t say enough about the impact it has had on my daughter’s development as a pitcher. Leanne Emery is truly an exceptional pitching coach. Her dedication, knowledge, and genuine passion for the sport set her apart in every way. What makes Leanne stand out is that she’s not the type of coach who simply observes from the sidelines—she is fully engaged in every session. She teaches with intention, provides meaningful feedback, and takes the time to connect with each athlete. It’s clear that she truly cares about her students, both as players and as individuals. The entire staff at Cutting Edge Softball reflects that same positive energy. Everyone is friendly, supportive, and committed to helping the athletes grow. It creates an environment where players feel encouraged and motivated to push themselves. Since training with Leanne, my daughter Mercedes has grown tremendously as a pitcher. Her confidence, skill, and understanding of the game have all improved, and that’s a direct result of the quality coaching she’s receiving. We’re incredibly grateful for the role Leanne and her team have played in her development. If you’re looking for a place where your athlete will not only improve but also feel supported and inspired, Cutting Edge Softball is truly outstanding.

I’ve been taking my older daughter, Anya Shah, to Cutting Edge since she was 8. She started pitching in the Mountain View rec softball league, and after getting some experience in travel ball, she was motivated to improve her game. A quick search led us to Cutting Edge, and from the start, Coach Leann and Coach Terry impressed us with their strong emphasis on pitching fundamentals. Over the years, she has also played in the Palo Alto league and with several elite travel clubs in the area. Even with a 45-minute drive each way, we’ve stayed committed because it’s completely worth it. Within just a few weeks, I could already see Anya developing key skills, especially with her fastball. Coach Leann has a great ability to understand that every player is different and makes small, thoughtful adjustments to help each athlete improve steadily. One thing I really value is that they don’t rush into teaching new pitches until the current one is fully mastered. That focus on fundamentals makes a big difference compared to trying to learn everything at once, which often doesn’t last. What truly sets Cutting Edge apart is how they build on what your daughter already brings, instead of trying to completely change her style. Over the past eight years, they’ve been consistent, thoughtful, and incredibly effective, and we recommend them to everyone. Beyond pitching, Coach Ron has also been excellent, helping Anya develop strong hitting fundamentals. Today, she plays for an elite travel ball team and is a varsity starter at a top high school, and much of that growth is thanks to Coach Leann, Coach Terry, Coach Ron, and the entire Cutting Edge staff. If I could give more than five stars, I would without hesitation. As a family, we’re truly grateful for Coach Leann’s guidance and commitment over the years.
