Blue Dog Spirit
At Rumsey Hall, athletics are an essential part of our whole-child approach. We believe that the playing field, ice rink, or court is not only a place to compete, but a place to grow, build resilience, and experience the rewards of teamwork.
The Blue Dog Spirit is defined by perseverance, attitude, and the relationships built between teammates and coaches. We believe in effort, courage, and nurturing the drive for success.
Being a Blue Dog cultivated my sportsmanship and leadership—whether I was on the court, the field, or the sidelines cheering my peers on. We held our heads high even if we were not ringing the victory bell after every competition. Rumsey was a space to practice celebrating the highs with grace and valuing the lows as a learning experience. These experiences have had a lasting effect on who I am to this day, and I am thankful for them.

A Place for Every Athlete
We offer a full schedule of competitive and non-competitive teams for IIIrd Form (Grade 5) through VIIth Form (Grade 9) students—supporting all levels of play.
Whether a student is trying a new sport for the first time or training at a competitive level, they will find support, encouragement, and challenge at Rumsey. Our coaches, who are also faculty members, understand our students both on and off the field, and guide them with care, insight, and consistency.
Our teams
Students build lasting skills and cultivate a passion for a variety of sports by participating in fall, winter, and spring season athletics each school year.
When a team wins, they ring the Rumsey Bell — letting the whole campus share in the victory.
