Athletics are vital to a Hopkins education and everyone may play team sports. The school fields varsity squads in 20 different sports and 38 interscholastic teams at the varsity, junior varsity, thirds, and Junior School levels. Most coaches are classroom teachers, allowing them to work with our students in a variety of settings.
Many students also play on intramural teams, such as soccer, basketball, tennis, and softball.
Others participate in a varied recreational program that includes gymnastics, aerobics, fencing, and exercise. The fall season was a very successful and rewarding one for the Hilltopper athletic teams. The team lost to Exeter in the preliminary round, then defeated Suffield and lost to Andover in the Consolation bracket, earning 6th place overall. The Varsity Girls soccer team also qualified for the New England Tournament, being defeated by a strong Governor Dummer team in the first round. The girls cross-country team capped a successful year with a second place finish in the New England Championship.
