High school sport at its highest level.

The Upper School athletics program gives grades 9–12 students challenging, competitive opportunities that build leadership and prepare them for collegiate athletics — without compromising academic excellence.

Levels of Competition

Varsity, JV, and Freshman — a team for every athlete

Our Varsity teams represent The Hudson School at the highest level of interscholastic competition, including regional and state tournaments. Junior Varsity programs develop emerging players with intensive training and meaningful competitive experience. Freshman-level teams welcome athletes who are new to the sport or building foundational skills, with an emphasis on learning, participation, and confidence.
