HEAD PROS:  Leaders on the Softball field

Head Pro: Christine Grenache

Christine Grenache was recently named the new head coach of the Franklin Pierce softball program. She will begin her duties, effective July 1. In 2012, she will enter her second season overall with the program, as she served as an assistant coach during the 2011 campaign. She worked primarily with the hitters.

Grenache came to Rindge after four seasons as Head Coach at Newbury College. During her time with the Nighthawks, she revamped the program with an emphasis on recruiting and player development and helped usher Newbury into the New England Collegiate Conference, which it joined in 2009. In 2007, her first season at Newbury, Grenache took a team that went winless in 2006 and guided it to an 11-10 record, earning Division III Independent Co-Coach of the Year accolades along the way. In her final season with the program, 2010, the Nighthawks earned their first postseason berth as a member of the NECC and collected the conference’s Sportsmanship Award at the end of the campaign.

As an undergrad, Grenache was a four-year starter at fellow Northeast-10 Conference member Stonehill College, where she served as a captain for her junior and senior seasons. She was also selected to represent United States Softball at the international level at the 2006 Friendship Series in Sydney, Australia and at the 2007 Goodwill Games in Lima, Peru.

CAMP LEVELS OF PLAY

Comprehensive/All Skills Camp: (Co-ed: Ages 8 – 18 years old)

Classes are programmed for three different proficiency levels: beginners, intermediates and advanced players — of all ages. Each student will be tested weekly and placed in a group of similar ability, and age. Beginners will be playing softball in just a few days; intermediates will improve all aspects of their game; and advanced players will sharpen their game to a competitive edge.

Position Training:  Softball campers are also trained based on the position of play.  As some drills are “position specific,” this helps the camper concentrate on the skills used for that specific position.  For those campers who have not yet decided which position they prefer, Head Pros will discuss their options with them.
