Phillips Academy Field Hockey, or PAFH, is recognized as one of the top programs in NEPSAC. With an emphasis on teamwork and togetherness and a motto of “Don’t Settle”, the emphasis is on providing each student-athlete with a positive team experience. The varsity team has appeared in the Class A tournament year after year. PAFH has advanced to the championship game five of the last six years and won four class A titles in that time. In both 2021 and 2018, the team completed undefeated seasons with a combined record of 35-0-1.
