The CHS Athletic Department is thrilled to announce the naming of Heather Poliferno as our next Head Varsity Softball Coach.
Poliferno has been the head coach of the Sharon Eagles Softball program for the past eight seasons. Her softball journey can be tracked back to her youth where she was a standout high school player in western Massachusetts where she grew up. She then went on to become a member of the Westfield State University softball program before an injury derailed her college playing career. She went on to coach 12u, 14u and 16u softball teams at Brand New Ballgame (BNB) in Wrentham.

CHS Athletic Director, Danny Erickson had this to say of Poliferno taking the reins-
"Heather immediately made a positive impression on everyone here at CHS during the hiring process. Her passion for both softball and student athletes shined through. We are very excited to see the difference she can make here in the CHS Softball program. We welcome her and wish her great success!"
Poliferno is ready to hit the ground running. She will be hosting a "meet the coach" meeting for any potential member of the softball program this spring, on Thursday, November 20th at 2:30pm in the Distance Learning Lab at CHS.
Coach Poliferno had this to say upon her appointment- "I am very excited for the opportunity to lead the Canton High Softball program, and am grateful to be a member of the Bulldogs family! I can't wait to meet everyone!"
