Schedule
a Private Lesson with These Great Coaches
DHYS is fortunate to have several great coaches/instructors available to provide personal sessions for your player. These lessons can focus on a specific skill (pitching, hitting, etc.) or just give your player additional time and facilities to work on a variety of skills. Their fees are very reasonable and many DHYS players have already benefited from their talents. They all enjoy working with kids, provide positive reinforcement and routinely donate their time and talents to DHYS season after season. If you player wishes to enhance their skills beyond the confines of DHYS, contact these instructors to arrange private lessons. For

We ask that if your player wishes to attend, that they inform their coach and that they are accompanied by an adult to help the instructors.Cost: None About the instructors: All instructors are professional baseball coaches. Bill Melvin Coach Bill Melvin has been teaching baseball to young players across the South since 1986. He uses his eight years of professional pitching experience to improve players of all ages and every skill level; however, what really sets Bill apart is his exceptional character, outstanding communication skills, and infinite patience. After a lesson with Bill, players leave feeling good about themselves and more confident in their abilities to compete at the highest level.
