Welcome to Kent Athletics!

At Kent, athletics are an essential part of our Mission to prepare students "to contribute to the common good in the world beyond Kent School." Through competitive experiences, dedicated coaching, leadership development, and comprehensive performance and wellness programming, our students build confidence, resilience, and character while reinforcing the value of teamwork, discipline, and meaningful relationships.

Since our founding in 1906, Kent has earned a strong reputation both nationally and internationally for excellence in interscholastic sports. As members of the Founders League and the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC), our student-athletes compete at the highest level of prep school athletics. However, we have never lost sight of what is most important about our athletics program: that it is a crucial part of the physical, emotional, and spiritual growth of our student-athletes.

I invite you to explore our program and discover what makes Kent Athletics such an important part of the Kent experience.

Sincerely,
Jason Coulombe 
Athletic Director

Founders League Competition

Kent is part of one of the most respected leagues in the country, the Founders League, where athletes at every level are challenged to grow, from those trying a sport for the first time to those aspiring to compete at the collegiate level and beyond. 

 


Integrity.  Competitiveness.  Joy.

These values are the foundation of Kent Athletics that will help guide our future. Identified by members of the Kent Athletic Leadership Council (KALC), these values remind us to remain true to ourselves and our principles,  that healthy competition fosters meaningful growth, and that we are at our best when we experience joy alongside teammates, coaches, and our community.

Supported by dedicated coaches, college-level facilities and resources, and teammates who share a commitment to growth, Kent student-athletes have everything they need to pursue their dreams and make the most of their athletic journeys.

Whether competing for the love of the game or preparing to continue their athletic careers at the collegiate level and beyond, every student-athlete has a place in Kent's interscholastic athletics program.

Community Engagement

Athletics at Kent extends beyond competition. Each term, many teams participate in community service projects, in partnership with REACH, giving student-athletes opportunities to lead, serve, and make a meaningful impact beyond the playing field. These experiences reinforce the values of teamwork, responsibility, and engaged citizenship that are central to the Kent experience.

 

Kent Athletic Leadership Council

The Kent Athletic Leadership Council (KALC) brings together all varsity team captains to develop the leadership skills that shape our athletic culture. Rooted in Kent's commitment to servant leadership, KALC provides education, mentorship, and peer support while helping student-athletes grow as leaders on their teams, across campus, and beyond Kent.

KALC has two components: the Leadership Development Curriculum, a yearlong program focused on topics and skills such as team culture development, inclusive leadership, and conflict management, and 
In-Season Captain Support, which brings in-season varsity captains together every other week with the Athletic Director to collaborate, share feedback, and support one another.

Through KALC, captains learn to build strong team cultures, foster meaningful relationships, and lead with integrity. These skills extend far beyond athletics and into every aspect of their lives.
