Team Overview
The coaching staff is committed to inspiring our young female players to become their very best on the court, in the classroom, and in life.
We expect our girls to function as one unit. Working together, supporting each other, and placing the well-being of the group ahead of self-interests are some of the values we hope to instill in every player. As a team we may face opponents with more talent but we will never be out-hustled. We always strive to give 100%. We push ourselves every day to improve the quality of our play, mental toughness, and physical condition. Our girls represent hard work, unity, and heart through all of their interactions on and off the court.
The Suffield Academy women’s basketball program has a rich history of success, including New England championships, players selected to the New England All-Star team each year, and more recently, a number of our girls have gone on to play at the college level at schools such as Quinnipiac University, Williams College, Queens College, Colby College, UMass-Lowell, Merrimack University, Ithaca College, and Trinity College.
