Case Study: Buck Fastpitch Academy achieves 30% revenue growth and major admin-time savings with Upper Hand

Buck Fastpitch Academy Uses Upper Hand to Reduce Time Spent on Administration Work, Allowing the Focus to Be on Developing and Training Athletes

Buck Fastpitch Academy, founded by Tina Buck-Harth, needed to streamline administrative tasks so she could spend more time developing and training elite youth softball and baseball athletes. After outgrowing Google Docs and Excel, Buck selected Upper Hand and its software platform to handle scheduling, online registration, payment processing and other back‑end operations.

Implementing Upper Hand’s solution automated Buck’s admin work and freed up coaching time—saving about 14 hours per week and roughly $5,000 in annual software costs. Since adopting Upper Hand, Buck Fastpitch Academy has increased revenue by 30%, grown its client base over 2,000% (now managing about 1,200 clients), and runs an additional 23 clinics per year.
