How far is Naperville from Frankfort for softball lessons?
The Play & Thrive Club Naperville is about 52 minutes and about 35 miles northwest of Frankfort, which sits in Will County. At that distance, weekly drives can be tough, so we recommend planning sessions rather than squeezing them in:
- Book two back-to-back 30-minute Private Lessons ($65 each) on one trip.
- Use a Zoom Lesson ($65, 30 minutes) for live feedback from home.
- Send a clip for Video Analysis ($35) and get drills back between visits.
Softball Hitting Lessons in Frankfort, IL: the swing work
Softball gives hitters less time to react, so timing is everything. Coach Cinz helps hitters start their load and stride at the right moment and build a repeatable path to the ball. He explains the “why” behind each change, which helps a Frankfort hitter keep drilling correctly on her own. He also works on the mental game, building the confidence to attack pitches instead of waiting on them.
Parents in his reviews often highlight improved mechanics and confidence, and his patience with athletes who learn differently.
Building a routine that works
A good rhythm might be one in-person double session every few weeks, with a Zoom Lesson or Video Analysis in between. Members save $20 per lesson with no limit, which helps when doubling up. Softball families in nearby Mokena and Orland Hills use a similar mix of visits and online check-ins.
What to bring to an in-person session
Bring the bat your hitter uses in games, a helmet, and water, and plan to arrive a few minutes early to warm up. It also helps to bring a note or short video of anything a travel or school coach has asked her to work on, so the session builds on what she already hears on her team. After the lesson, film a few swings at home within the week and send them in for Video Analysis to confirm the change is sticking. Frankfort families who do this tend to get more out of each visit to Naperville.
