The Hotchkiss field hockey program is committed to excellence in and out of the classroom and on the playing field. This pursuit of excellence has warranted an amazingly rich tradition of success since Hotchkiss went coeducational in the fall of 1974. As a member of the Founders League, the Western New England Prep School League and New England Prep School Athletic Council, the varsity squad has compiled quite a noteworthy record throughout its 42 year history.
Offering three levels of competition provides an opportunity for student-athletes of varying ability and experience the chance to participate interscholastically. The varsity, junior varsity and thirds teams practice on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday with games typically on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The junior varsity and third teams average 12-14 games per season, while the varsity plays a demanding 15-game schedule against many of the top Division I teams.
Even more important than the win-loss record, the beautiful playing facility or the college placement, however, is the personal growth that each athlete experiences during her field hockey career. Being a part of the Hotchkiss field hockey program teaches the importance of honor, character, hard work, and respect for others.
