Affiliations of GSSC

Throughout the year, Grand Slam Sports Complex is the place where local professional and club teams can be seen training for their respective sports. These players know they have to "practice like a pro to play like a pro." Everyone is invited to come out and watch the practice sessions. We are proud to lend our support the teams and organizations listed here and strongly encourage you to support them as well.

GSSC is the "unofficial training facility" for the Reading Phillies. Owner Rich Gaynor has a long-standing, on-going relationship with the team. He played for them in1983 and 1986, and is a member of the 1983 Reading Phillies' Hall of Fame team. Today, Rich is the team's official batting practice pitcher.
