Field Hockey Girls Varsity
Overview
Over the years, the varsity field hockey team has found great success in the New England Prep School Athletic Council. A perennial contender for the NEPSAC Class C Championship, the Holderness squad plays a 17-game schedule against opponents in the Lakes Region and the Independent School League.
The Bulls play on the Robert T. Low Field, a synthetic turf field resurfaced in 2021 that allows for perfect field conditions all fall. Team members have gone on to play in strong programs throughout the United States including Boston University, Dartmouth College, St. Lawrence University, University of Vermont, Bates College, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and UMass Dartmouth.

In a moving show of support for a teammate who lost his father to cancer at the beginning of the school year, all 29 members of the Holderness boys varsity lacrosse team shaved their heads to raise nearly $30,000 for the Sarcoma Center at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
There is no terrain too rugged, race too long, mountain too high, climate too severe, or obstacle too difficult to keep Mirna Valerio from feeling the power of her body and using movement as a form of liberation and wellness. In her New York Times bestselling book, A Beautiful Work in Progress, Valerio writes, “This body isn’t meant to be stagnant or cease moving. When we stop moving in mind, body, and spirit, we stop learning. When we stop learning, we stop living. Therefore, when we stop moving, we stop living. We stop evolving toward being the human we are destined to be.” This is the message she carried to Holderness School these past few days.
Holderness School is pleased to announce that Annie Smyth-Hammond ’16 will join the Admission Office as Assistant Director of Admission as well as serve as Head Coach for the Girls Varsity Ice Hockey team.
Following an historic 23-3-3 season that saw the Holderness School Boys Varsity Hockey secure their first-ever selection to the Elite Eight, New England prep school hockey’s most competitive tournament, it’s no surprise that Head Coach Alan Thompson ’04 has been selected as Neutral Zone’s Prep Hockey Coach of the Year Runner-Up.
On the heels of a series of strong showings at regional races, an incredible number of Holderness School skiers have qualified for state, national, and international competitions.
