About Us ...

The Lemont Rockers was founded in 1994 by Jim “Didi” DiGregorio and Bill Sokolis. These two men had a vision of providing young women a place where they could improve their athletic ability while at the same time developing leadership skills, self-confidence, and giving them the head-start needed to prepare them for high school, college, and beyond.

Today, the Lemont Rockers is recognized as one of the premier softball organizations in the nation. Our teams compete locally throughout the Chicagoland area and nationally against other travel programs. Our most recent accomplishment was to be crowned the 2008 ASA 18U ‘A’ National Champions. We have 5 ASA Metro Championships to our credit, as well as, over 83 tournament wins. We currently have 64 Rockers alumni playing at the collegiate level on full or partial scholarships, of which 26 are playing Division I. Over the years, the Rockers players have received over 3-1/2 million dollars in scholarship money.

Each girl is challenged to be the best she can be. We hope to give them a strong base of values, sportsmanship, and healthy competition to build on. We are committed to the success of each and every player in the classroom and on the field. We provide the college exposure these girls need to further their academic careers while playing a game they are passionate about.

Sadly and suddenly, Jim “Didi” passed away on July 30, 2008. He was and always will be an icon in the softball community. He gave so much to so many, and is truly missed. The Rockers organization has banded together to carry on Didi’s legacy and his vision which he began 15 years ago. With Jim “The Mayor” Giancana as Executive Director/President and an experienced Board of Directors, the Rockers organization is stronger than ever.

We are dedicated to uphold the Rockers reputation and carry on the tradition……

“As a whole, we will conquer, in parts, we’re doomed to failure”
