Forsythe Named New Softball Coach At Sacred Heart Academy In Hamden

HAMDEN, CT — Ken Forsythe has been named the head softball coach at Sacred Heart Academy in Hamden.

Forsythe, a former manager of the Hamden Post 88 American Legion baseball team, served as an assistant varsity softball coach at Hamden High School for the past two seasons. He resigned to accept the position at Sacred Heart Academy last week.

Forsythe said his three daughters graduated from Sacred Heart Academy, helping to make it his desired coaching position.

“It’s a great learning experience and they create women who become leaders in their fields,” he said.

Forsythe said his youngest daughter, Alyssa, will be one of his assistant coaches. She was a four-year varsity starter at Sacred Heart Academy and was captain of the softball team in her junior and senior seasons.

“She came back as an assistant coach when they won the 2009 state championship under Coach Ray Ramelli,” Forsythe said. “So, both of us are looking to give something back to a school that means so much to our family.”
