Founder and lead instructor at Level Up Fastpitch. My name is Arin Oppermann, a full-time pitching instructor in the Madison area with 20 years of coaching experience at the high school and collegiate levels. My background in elementary education and my track record of producing Division 1 and nationally ranked pitchers reflect my commitment to excellence.
As a member of Tincher Pitching, a leading authority in pitching instruction, I am part of a collaborative network of over 100 instructors across the country. I’m also a mom, a former 4th-grade teacher, a 10u coach, and the pitching coach for Season 1 of the Madison Night Mares.
I’ve had the privilege to learn from some of the best in the business, and like my pitchers, I’m committed to ongoing growth. My focus is on helping pitchers stay pain-free while maximizing their power and explosiveness through efficient movement.
I offer a wide range of lessons, including private, semi-private, and small group. In each of these lessons we will focus on using your body in the most efficient and powerful way possible.
Have a big group ready to level up their pitching game? Bring me to you! Together, we can work out a plan for me to come work with your pitchers at your location, whether you're in the Madison area, or hours away. I'd be happy to come get your pitchers going in the right direction!
Arin Oppermann has truly made a difference in my daughter's life
When she started pitching lessons with Arin a few months ago, she had just joined a new team and was in need of a consistent program that would take her pitching to the next level. Each and every lesson we have with Arin, she brings energy, expertise, and a new found friendship for my daughter.
She always has a smile on her face and asks how she is doing, what's new, and genuinely cares about her life outside of pitching. Each lesson is packed with details such as which muscles to use, attention to detail, and explanation as to why a pitch is doing what it is doing.
During lessons, Arin gives 100% attention to each and every pitch. She studies every movement and gives help when its needed.
To quote my daughter, "Whenever I walk in the door, Arin is smiling and friendly and gives me the support I need!"
We are so happy to have found Arin as a pitching coach. Her kindness also extends to all who come to lessons. She brings an energy and kindness that everyone should be around. She knows our whole family by name and is truly like family to us now!"

"Gained so much confidence"
Our daughters have learned so much and have gained so much confidence in their skills. She always explains herself in a way that easily comes through for the girls to understand.
Her knowledge of pitching is beyond anything we’ve ever seen.

"Best we have experienced"
Arin has been a breath of fresh air to my daughter and the pitching journey she is on. My daughter has had a few pitching coaches and Arin by far is the best we have experienced. She touches on every aspect of the Tincher style and is great with my daughter.I am so glad we are now with a great coach!!!!"
