League/Schedule
Portsmouth Abbey is a member of the Eastern Independent League (EIL). The EIL provides Portsmouth Abbey student-athletes the opportunity for rigorous competition with schools of similar size and athletic philosophy. EIL member schools include Bancroft School, Beaver Country Day, Berwick Academy, Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall, Concord Academy, Dana Hall School, Landmark School, Lexington Christian, Newton Country Day, Pingree School and Winsor School. We also compete against traditional rivals St. George's, Tabor, Pomfret, Worcester Academy, and Vermont Academy. Each year the team participates in the two-day New England Championship Tournament. In 2004, Portsmouth Abbey completed a new squash-fitness facility that has eight international courts and a comprehensive fitness facility for conditioning.
Coaching Philosophy
The Varsity Squash program at Portsmouth Abbey School encourages students to reach their potential in the classroom as well as on the squash court, and fosters a healthy respect for coaches, officials, opponents, and the game itself. Because squash demands both team stability and an individual commitment to hard, physical work, we train our athletes in both physical and mental aspects of the game. Practices are fast-paced and include many fitness, conditioning, and technical drills. We also encourage players to develop their overall athleticism by participating in other sports.
Contact
Portsmouth Abbey is looking for hard-working, goal-oriented, and enthusiastic student-athletes who are looking to develop their skills in the classroom and on the squash court. If you have any questions or need admissions information please contact the Portsmouth Abbey School Admissions Office.
