We here
at Rock n Fire are proud of our brand new, recently opened facility in
Shoemakersville, Pa. The facility was designed to provide the optimum
pitching experience for young, developing pitchers. Unlike other,
multi-purpose sports facilities, the Rock n Fire facility was designed
exclusively for girl’s softball pitching. It was designed with the
serious pitcher in mind.
-
It provides each student and parent with a clean,
comfortable, private, climate controlled setting, for the ultimate
pitching experience.
-
We offer a setting that promotes and enhances privacy
and relaxation, which in turn, increases the student’s concentration
level. This in turn produces a more relaxed pitcher, and promotes
faster learning.
-
The Rock n Fire facility contains a private, heated
observation room for parents and prospective students. This allows
the parent(s) to observe their child’s progress, while maintaining
privacy for the student.
-
The Rock n Fire facility uses up to date, state of
the art pitching training equipment and techniques, to help maximize
the student’s physical abilities.
-
We have television and video at our disposal to help
teach the student, with the help of visual aids.
-
The Rock n Fire facility contains three, regulation
length, pitching tunnels. Each tunnel is 43ft. in length. The plates
can be set at distances ranging from 35 ft., up to 43ft. to
accommodate every age group.
-
Catching equipment is also provided at the end of
each tunnel, for use during those times of the year when catchers
are being utilized.
Rock n
Fire offers free accommodations to those parents and students, who drive
great distances to participate. We currently instruct girls who are
diving from as far away as the Syracuse/Oswego N. Y. area. Those
parents, in many cases choose to receive multiple sessions in a single
weekend to decrease their travel expenses.
We here
at Rock n Fire also promote, and help arrange car-pooling, for those
driving from the same area. We offer an enormous amount of flexibility
in scheduling, as well as on line scheduling, to help accommodate those
who travel from out of the area.
The
Rock n Fire facility is conveniently located near all of the major
routes running through Berks County. We are located approximately 15
minutes south of Cabela’s, just off of Rte. 61 in Shoemakersville, Pa.,
and only 15 minutes north of Reading, Pa.
