This will be my 9th season coaching Fastpitch Softball for Melrose Area Schools.
Last summer, I had the privilege to be asked to help coach the Freeport youth fastpitch program.
My favorite part about coaching is sharing the passion for the game of softball with these girls, and watching them grow as an athlete-- and as a person throughout their softball and high school career.
'Thank A Coach Advisor Week' is Jan. 27-Feb. 3, and we are pleased to point the spotlight at MAS Coach/Advisor Staff! We asked the following questions:
1) How many years have you been coaching?

My favorite part of coaching is watching kids succeed and helping each other be part of something greater than themselves. Having coached at so many different levels gives me an appreciation of the time it takes to develop and foster a skill.

1. This is my 5th year as head coach in Melrose, after 4 years in Morris
2. Speech
3. My favorite part of coaching is seeing the tremendous growth in our speakers from the beginning of the season to the end. Even better? Watching their growth from Jr. High to Sr. High. I am lucky to work with kids who willingly give up their Saturdays to hop on a bus in the wee hours of the morning to go speak and fellow coaches who are crazy enough to do the same.
Katie Masog
Coached: 15 years (11 Head Coach) of High School Gymnastics
Sports: Gymnastics (Elementary, Rising Stars and High School). Also have coached JO Volleyball and Youth Softball.
Favorite Part: My favorite part of coaching is helping gymnasts grow as a gymnast and as a person!
Teaching lifelong lessons that will help them in and out of the gym. Helping them believe that the sky is the limit, and with enough determination and dedication, anything is possible. Also watching the excitement when hitting a new skill is priceless!
Also, my coaching staff and gymnasts. We all share the LOVE for the sport of gymnastics, and that in itself makes us want to be in the gym everyday!

Once upon a time there was a school who all read the same book at the same time. Yes, we are doing it again! Let’s kick off our One School One Book program with a dress up day Friday Jan 31st. Students can dress up as their favorite fairy tale character tomorrow and a copy of The Tale of Despereaux book will come home with the oldest child in the family.
