The Hill's varsity and junior varsity boys' and girls' basketball teams tip-off against their opponents on this court named after alumnus James Gillison III '29. Constructed in 1931, the court features large permanent poured concrete stands with the capacity to hold 500 spectators, players’ benches, a built-in scorer’s table on the north end, and scoreboards on both the east and west walls. The center-jump circle is named after Donald S. Ronnie, legendary basketball coach who directed Hill basketball through 37 seasons. Gillison Court also is the site of the Mid-Atlantic Prep League championship banners, for all sports won by Hill teams since the establishment of the league in 1998.

The Bissell Wrestling Room is located above the fitness room. Measuring 3,915 square feet, the facility has two mats, bleachers on two walls, an electronic scoreboard, and a built-in scorer’s table; it is well-equipped for team practice and meets. Hill wrestling first reached national prominence under the legendary coach and Hill alumnus Frank S. Bissell '33, and continued under subsequent coaches. The walls of the wrestling room feature anecdotes regarding Coach Bissell's philosophy and plaques honoring national prep champions and Hill alumni who captained their college teams.

Beech Street Tennis Courts: The boys' and girls' tennis teams hold all their home matches on these nine, easily accessible courts, located on Beech Street right across from the main entrance to Hill's campus and adjacent to the baseball field. In addition to the wind-screens that surround the courts, their location at the base of a hill helps shelter them from the wind. Convenient parking and benches for spectators on a small hillside next to the court make it an attractive place to watch tennis. A team shed for equipment and racquet-stringing provides practical benefits for the players.
