Get To Know Our Team...
Gametime Training Tools was founded by Sandy Fischer, a highly successful and respected former Division I Collegiate Softball Coach. Starting with a simple idea to help players improve their hitting mechanics, Sandy created our signature product, Tee Stackers. Sandy collaborated with Kirk Walker, Head Softball Coach at Oregon State University and well known hitting clinician, in the rigorous product testing phase of development. Sharing their creative energies, extensive knowledge of softball, and dedication to player development, Sandy and Kirk are excited to introduce Tee Stackers to the softball and baseball market.
