Football

During the fall sports season, Fay’s football team competes against our peer schools and a handful of secondary school teams. With access to a full-sized football field on the main campus for training and competition, Fay’s football team takes a program approach that focuses on developing skills for younger players while challenging older players in a more competitive environment.

Each year, the program serves an average of 30-40 athletes in grades five through nine and has four full-time coaches who are also members of Fay’s teaching faculty. The 5th and 6th graders play flag football and play approximately 6 games against peer middle schools, while 7th-9th graders play an 8-game season on our full-tackle Varsity team. Every other year, the Varsity team plays in a “Friday Night Lights” game on their home field, as well as a bowl game against our rival, Fenn School. Many of our students have gone on to play at highly competitive New England preparatory schools.
