Athletics
The athletic program at Suffield Academy has a long and storied tradition. Our varsity teams regularly earn or compete for league and New England Championships. Yet athletics at Suffield are about much more than winning or losing. We believe sports build and strengthen character. As a Suffield Academy Tiger, you will learn about commitment. Our program encourages students to stay in good physical shape, make new friends, and learn the rules of fair play and sportsmanship.
