Chandler's Seton Catholic has new softball coach

​Seton Catholic Prep recently announced Ian Rodgers will be its next head softball coach.

“We couldn’t be more happy to have Coach Rodgers as part of our program here at Seton Catholic,” Sentinels athletic director Jim Shewbridge said in a news release. “He has been a part of building strong club programs here in the East Valley and, most importantly, is a man of integrity who plans on building upon the legacy that is Seton Catholic softball.”

Rodgers comes to Seton Catholic having had success as a head coach in club softball over the past few years, most recently with the Athletics Mercado 14U East Valley program.

Rodgers steps into a Sentinel program that has had plenty of success under 38-year head coach Jerry Mullin, who retired at the end of the 2024 season.

Rodgers hopes to build off of the foundations from Mullin and continue to bring success to the softball team both on and off the field.
