We are coming down to the line! The final weeks of a drama production are called tech week, and it s when we really staple everything together. As such, it is vital that we have everyone to make sure all the costumes work well, people know what they are doing on stage with props and set pieces, and all the tech works as intended.

Here is the calendar for the final few weeks.

We are looking forward to this show being one of our best yet! The kids are sounding awesome!

Let us know if you have any questions!

Greetings and Welcome to the 1st Week of SATEC Softball! We are excited to get the season under way. Please see below for important details as we begin our practices.

Coaching Staff

We are pleased to announce that the softball team will be coached by Lianne Frechette and assisted by Mike Conger.

Full Team Practices

Regular practices for all players will officially begin on Monday, March 30th. For this first day, practice will run from 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM in the gym. You can find the full schedule for the first two weeks here: Schedule Link. Since these early sessions will be held indoors, I will be monitoring the weather closely and will update the plan as the long-term forecast evolves.

Game Schedule & Logistics

• Game Dates: I expect to have a tentative game schedule ready by Friday, April 3rd. Some neighboring schools are currently finalizing their rosters, which may slightly shift our existing plans.

• Gym Access: Please enter through the side gym entrance, as the front and back school doors will be locked.

• Parking: Families should park in the back lot; players can then use the sidewalk to reach the side entrance.

• Gear: Please ensure players bring a pair of indoor-only shoes to wear in the gym. No cleats are allowed on the gym floor.

Moving forward, keep an eye out for a weekly email from me containing the latest practice and game updates. Thank you for your support of our student-athletes and the softball program. We're looking forward to a great season!

Best regards,
