Who is Coach Lauren Farias ?

This sports season the Somerset Cougars have a new high school softball coach, Coach Lauren Farias. Coach Farias believes in the need for more female-dominant sports to be recognized, especially in high schools. Although she is new to Somerset, Coach Lauren is not new to softball. She has been around the game for over 18 years, including school and travel teams. Farias played at the highest level of softball and she’s a reliable source for learning softball. “…I trust my work and experience to help get us to where we need to be and to win more games than the softball program here at Somerset has ever won.” Farias said. Though this is a major claim, it is achievable. Last season SAC varsity softball finished with a 6-3 overall record and did not make it to districts. There is room for improvement which Coach Lauren has recognized. She has already started training the girls who signed up for the team during the interest meeting back in October. The team has conditioning practices twice a week to prepare before the season begins. Any interested players are welcome.

With new hope, comes needs……..

The Somerset Academy Canyons High School softball team is currently taking donations. Donations may be turned in to the front office in the middle school building. Donations are accepted in the form of a check or through the school’s website at any point in time during the school year. 

Why donate?

A significant aspect of a school’s reputation is the sports teams they have to offer and their skill level. The more funding a team has, the more money it can spend on equipment, transportation, and ways to improve the team’s potential. A team that has quality equipment can be trained more efficiently by their coach. This ensures Somerset Canyons an excellent softball team to represent their school. An excellent softball team brings more dominant female sports to a male-dominated industry, and it teaches the individual athletes how to communicate with each other in order to win and improve themselves as a team.
