Meet the founder...

Hi! I'm Ally Schwartz and I founded Next Step Athletes in 2019. I personally play softball and volleyball. I played little league softball for 8 years, beginning when I was 5 and saw the impact an older player could make. A high-school athlete serves as someone for young girls and boys to look up to. Also, from the perspective of the student coaches, there's nothing more rewarding than helping someone discover the love of the game we as athletes possess. This was founded by athletes for athletes, and hopefully will support kids who want to start a sport or simply want a little extra help. Parents shouldn't need to hire professional coaches to teach their kids the basics, but there should be a platform for this. Next Step Athletes caters to all skill levels from beginning to experienced coached by high schoolers alone. We also provide a unique perspective of high school athletes that have gone through the system and tryouts and would be happy to offer free counseling and advice about being a student athlete or going through tryouts if you contact one of our coaches. In this community the goal is to have older athletes serve as role models to young kids. We want to provide a safe training environment for athletes to learn and grow. Athletes for athletes with many different coaches across numerous sports to fit the need of your child. Thanks for visiting First Step Athletes and I hope to hear from you!
