The energy and enthusiasm for the game that Rising Stars staff brings to these sessions is infectious, and the athletes are very effective at pushing one another with a strong group effort.
Joining when I was just thirteen years old, I have been a member of CPDP for four years. Whether it was in the extremely tough workouts, yoga classes, or vision board teachings, every week at CPDP, I was improving part of my game.
I have been inspired by Erin Forman and the other coaches that have helped me through the years. Erin and the CPDP program created a safe space where I could challenge myself without the fear of failing. This helped change my mindset from wanting to play well with the intent of not failing, to playing to succeed and enjoy the game.
I was also given the opportunity in my first year to work with many older girls who were succeeding in softball at the highest levels. As a young kid with big dreams, it was inspiring to see these girls putting in the work with Erin and seeing the results.
The coaches spent time working with players on their individual strengths and weaknesses to make them the best player they can be. They helped us get to where we want to be and develop our own passion, as opposed to where they thought we should be.
Our daughter Emily has participated in the CPDP program for four seasons. She has grown immensely as a player by participating in this group.
It was a tremendous help for our daughter to have a resource like Erin available to her as she considered options for post secondary. One of the things I most appreciated was the emphasis on the academic aspect of our decision. We feel like we were able to find a good fit for Emily, and Erin played a key role in helping to make that happen.
CPDP Program Parent
I wasn’t having great success at the plate that I was used to. I tried everything from hitting off a tee as much as I could and watching videos but nothing helped. Then my dad came across Erin and Rising Stars.

Lead Pitching Instructor, Taylor Robblee, brings a wealth of experience and personal success on the mound. Taylor understands what female pitchers need  to maximize their potential!

I have been inspired by Erin Forman and the other coaches that have helped me through the years. Erin and the CPDP program created a safe space where I could challenge myself without the fear of failing. This helped change my mindset from wanting to play well with the intent of not failing, to playing to succeed and enjoy the game.
The coaches spent time working with players on their individual strengths and weaknesses to make them the best player they can be. They helped us get to where we want to be and develop our own passion, as opposed to where they thought we should be.
Erin didn’t just immediately try to change my swing, but rather she worked to better understand my current swing mechanics. She used the base that I already had and gave me the confidence and tweaks I needed to become more powerful and more consistent. My strength in my swing has grown tremendously and I’m hitting pitches I never knew I could.
Erin isn’t just an instructor, she builds a bond with her students and really gets to know them beyond just softball. If you are looking for a coach you can trust who is knowledgeable and patient and you are looking to improve your game you should be working with Erin at Rising Stars.
