Welcome to Rock-It Baseball Academy! We are dedicated to teaching Baseball and Life skills to kids of all ages - currently in the Colorado Springs, Colorado area.
We desire to partner with other youth programs in the Colorado Springs area to enhance their sports programs with our Sports Life Integration Curriculum (SLIC) and train coaches to maximize holistic player development.
We are a non-profit organization, currently filing for 501(c) (3) tax exemption. If you wish to partner with us to help us with our Mission, please see the "Contact Us" Web page for details on how to reach us.
Our long term plan includes leasing an indoor Baseball facility for year-round instruction and skill development, as well as utilizing the facility for SLIC training programs and local team rentals.
