At Fieldston Upper, athletics means more than early morning practices, team dinners, and winning championships. Student athletes at Fieldston learn essential skills — leadership, camaraderie, resilience — and strengthen their commitment to our core values through their time on the field, court, track, or in the pool.
Juliette R. ’25 plans to run track at Bucknell next year. She’s excited about her athletic future but plans to stay connected to the ECFS community. “I knew that I’d always have my home on the track team to return to,” she reflects. “Even after I graduate, I can come and still feel part of the team.”
This year, eight Fieldston seniors are committed to playing a diverse variety of sports, from lacrosse to squash, as college athletes. Lily S. ’25 began playing field hockey in 9th Grade. “I’ve spent hours on the Upper Field and in the gym; without Fieldston, I wouldn’t have had the support and confidence to fulfill my dream.”
With over 20 teams, the Fieldston Athletics program is poised to continue growing. Students have introduced new sports, like boys volleyball, and achieved historic victories and championships. More than anything, student athletes have remained committed to playing well and ethically —
a true ECFS win.
