The Hill School is serving up an exciting new opportunity for student-athletes with the addition of a girls’ volleyball program beginning in fall 2026. This is an exciting opportunity for Hill to further expand our outstanding interscholastic athletics program and welcome talented volleyball players to explore our School. 

"We are thrilled to be starting a varsity volleyball program here at Hill," said Assistant Head of School for Enrollment Management Tom Eccleston ’87 P’19 ’21. "During the last few admission cycles, we've seen increased interest from prospective girls inquiring if we had a volleyball team and then asking if we'd be starting a program." According to Eccleston, this interest was a major factor in the School's decision.   

The new program will compete within the Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) and against local schools. The Athletics Department is committed to supporting at least one varsity team for the first season, with the possibility of adding a JV program depending on student interest. 

"There's been tremendous interest from current and prospective students, and we're excited to provide another opportunity for our student-athletes to compete, grow, and represent Hill with pride," remarked Director of Athletics and Co-Curricular Activities Bill Stiles.
