Boys Football
The Kent Football program has been in existence for over 100 years. While the players and coaches have changed, and systems have come and gone, the lessons the game teaches to young people have never changed.
Overview

Skill Development & Teamwork
Kent plays one of the most challenging schedules in Class A New England prep school football. Many home games are played under the lights with crowds that are the envy of any school. Kent Football is a storied program, claiming eight league championships, five New England Championship game berths, and two New England titles in the past 18 years.

Leadership & Character Development
Our program is built on Three Guiding Principles:
- Relentless Effort - the individual's ability to perform every act with the utmost passion and commitment.
- Competitive Excellence - the individual's ability to put obstacles and emotion aside and compete with passion, resilience, and love.
- Power of the Team - the individual player can be elite, but the individuals who play for love of the team can be special.
