Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Darien High School’s
Varsity Softball team lifts weights in DHS’ weight room; the team’s goal is to
get in shape and build muscle before their season starts. These workout
sessions last for an hour and half and will continue to the start of February
break. The team is also working on hitting and pitching twice a weeknight; this
schedule become more intense as the winter progresses. When asked about the
team, senior captain Rebecca Demaio said, “As a program we have a really
important season coming up with great potential and depth. Training in the
offseason helps get our team into shape, and that’s essential to winning
championships.”
As Demaio said, the softball team is already focusing on
winning championships. Last year, the team lost to St. Joseph High School in the
FCIAC final and went on to lose the state tournament. These were both big upsets,
and the team is hoping to redeem itself in the upcoming season. For the amount
of work each player is putting into the offseason, they might just get their
wish.
