Athletics

As an all-girls’ school, Westover provides its students with a competitive and cooperative environment in which to participate, practice, compete, play and excel.

Westover is a member of the New England Prep School League and the Western New England Prep School Athletic Association (WNEPSAA). We compete against Taft, Hopkins, Gunnery, Kingswood-Oxford, Kent, Miss Porter’s, and Westminster, among others.

Westover also participates in the Connecticut Independent School Athletic Conference (CISAC) in soccer, field hockey, basketball, lacrosse, softball, and tennis. Our competitors include Chase Collegiate, Ethel Walker, Hamden Hall, and Williams.

The importance of regular exercise for staying healthy is a fact. That’s why Westover requires its students to participate in their choice of athletics – including team sports – throughout their four years here. There are lots of options for exploration.
