Iron Diamond House to open indoor training facility for female athletes in Souderton

Iron Diamond House will open Sept. 12, 2026, in Souderton with seven retractable batting tunnels and about 6,500 square feet of turf for softball players, teams and young athletes. Founded by Pennridge softball coach Crystalrae States, the female-owned facility is designed to fill a local need for dedicated indoor training space.

Why it matters: - Iron Diamond House is designed to give softball players and other young athletes in Bucks County a dedicated indoor place to train year-round. - The facility focuses on female athletes, who often have fewer quality indoor training options when field and gym time is shared across sports. - The opening adds a new local resource for practices, camps, clinics, rentals and community events.

What happened: - Iron Diamond House will hold its grand opening on Saturday, Sept. 12, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 731 Wambold Road in Souderton. - The facility was founded by Crystalrae States, a Pennridge High School graduate, lifelong Perkasie resident and current Pennridge High School softball coach. - States built the business around her experience as an athlete and coach in the local community.

The details: - The indoor youth sports facility includes seven retractable batting tunnels. - The building has about 6,500 square feet of turf space. - Iron Diamond House will support individual training, team practices, camps, clinics, cage rentals and special events. - The facility serves athletes and families in Pennridge, Souderton, Perkasie, Lansdale, Bucks County and surrounding communities. - More information is available on the company's website and on Instagram at @irondiamondhouse.

Between the lines: - States said she wanted a space where female athletes feel the facility was built for them, not assigned to them when other sports do not need the space. - The business is also a local investment from a founder who grew up, played and coaches in the same community. - Iron Diamond House is aiming to be more than a training site by positioning itself as a gathering place for athletes, coaches, families and the broader sports community.

What's next: - Families, athletes, coaches and community members are invited to tour the facility during the grand opening event. - Visitors will be able to see the training space, learn about upcoming programs and connect with the Iron Diamond House team. - The opening sets up the rollout of future programming and facility use after Sept. 12.

The bottom line: - Iron Diamond House is betting there is strong demand in Bucks County for a purpose-built indoor space centered on softball and female athletes.
