At Seven Hills, both our teams and our facilities are of championship quality. But what makes our athletics program truly stand out is that we’re all in it together. If students want to compete, they join a team.
We believe all students deserve this experience, not just those with extraordinary physical gifts. Our no-cut policy opens our teams to all students who want to be a part of something bigger than themselves. At Seven Hills, athletics is as social as it is physical, allowing students to connect and encourage one another and to build meaningful friendships and pride in their own school.
In our Lower Schools, we commingle students from both our campuses to broaden their social circles. And at every level, our coaching is consistent with our school values: designed to foster dedication, commitment, personal responsibility, teamwork, fair play, and a sense of perspective. Coaches serve as guides and role models, encouraging student athletes to set goals and to work hard to see them through.
That said, our teams, in all four divisions, compete at the very highest levels in league, regional, and state competition. We take great pride producing, each year, several athletes who go on to compete in college. Our facilities include a track and lighted all-season turf fields with stadium seating, and practice venues for elite soccer and lacrosse programs. We have three on-campus gyms, and a field house is tentatively scheduled to open for the 2018-19 school year.
Division Specifics
In Lower School, our athletic programs emphasize active participation by athletes at all skill levels. Under the guidance of skilled and supportive coaches, our youngest athletes develop the mental and physical skills that will help them succeed on and off the field for the rest of their lives. Teams are coached by experienced parent volunteers who are trained and supported by our own expert coaches.
Boys and girls play on competitive teams through the SAY (Soccer Association for Youth) and CYO (Catholic Youth Organization) leagues, bringing together students from both of our Lower Schools in an effort to broaden and develop new relationships.
