Athletics

Whether you're already a top-tier athlete, or you just want to have fun and stay fit, you'll find plenty of opportunity in Kent's athletic program.

Kent fields a total of 50 varsity, JV, and 3rds teams in a wide variety of boys and girls sports. We compete interscholastically in the Founders League, one of the most competitive independent school leagues in the country and one well-known to college coaches.

Every season Kent varsity athletes earn League All-star, New England All-Star and sometimes All-American recognition. Some even end up in Kent's Athletic Hall of Fame. Kent's coveted Athlete of the Week award recognizes outstanding individual performance at all teams levels, including JV and 3rds.

Athletic facilities at Kent, both indoor and outdoor, are top-notch, with the latest addition being our state-of-the-art fitness center.

The coaches here too, are some of the best. They have a firm understanding of both strategy and technique and they know how to deliver a clear, consistent message—one that reflects Kent's Athletics Mission. Because all of them are teachers and most live on campus, they see you in class and in the dorms, as well as on the field. In other words, they’ll really know you, and you’ll really know them. And that familiarity makes a tremendous difference in how they coach you, and how you respond to their coaching.

With our careful coaching, excellent facilities, and our great athletic traditions, it's no surprise that more than two thirds of the student body participate in interscholastic sports. And while you may or may not join the ranks of our most prestigious athletic alumni, you will find that playing sports at Kent will help prepare you for life's challenges.
