Softball Retreat Builds Faith, Teamwork, and Season‑Ready Spirit This past weekend, Chapelle’s softball team kicked off the season with a meaningful and energizing team retreat—and they truly knocked it out of the park. The day was filled with opportunities for faith, reflection, and bonding. The retreat began with a Blessing of the Field led by Deacon Capaci, setting the tone for a season rooted in gratitude, faith, and purpose. The team then took the field for a scrimmage, followed by a series of team challenges designed to strengthen communication and trust. One of the highlights of the day was this year’s featured challenge, “Carry the Canoe: The Way.” The team worked together through 14 stations, completing both physical challenges and problem‑solving tasks at each stop. With every station, a 5‑pound weight was added to the canoe they carried—symbolizing the importance of perseverance, unity, and shared responsibility as challenges grow. In addition to the physical and mental challenges, the team spent time in reflection in the chapel, participated in team‑bonding games, and concluded the retreat by attending Mass at St. Philip Neri (SPN). The goal of the retreat was simple but powerful: to grow in Christ and grow together as a team. This weekend served as a beautiful foundation for the season ahead, strengthening not only athletic readiness but also faith and friendship. We are excited to see how this team carries these lessons onto the field throughout the season.
