Highlights
Note from Varsity Head Coach Alex Gheorghe: The program progression has been increasingly successful over the past two previous seasons. In 2019, with an undefeated season record, first place in the FAA season and the team winning its first ever New England Class A Tournament title, the team proved to be one of the strongest in recent school history. In 2020, with COVID restrictions in place, we practiced and only participated in local scrimmages. 2020’s team graduated 4 outstanding seniors, 3 players went on to play Division 1 Field Hockey. The loss of these three top senior leaders and skilled hockey players made our ’21 season projection look like a rebuilding year. With a small roster in place after pre-season and only two seniors on the squad, the team took each and every game with incredible discipline and desire to succeed. The two senior captains took this team to new program achievements to date.

Facilities
Sacred Heart Greenwich has a 154,800 square foot multi-purpose, synthetic outdoor playing surface, six hard-court tennis court, two natural grass fields, and a three-mile cross-country course.
The field hockey turf field was resurfaced in 2017 to install a new surface similar to those used at the collegiate and professional levels. The field hockey field is a water-based artificial turf that is blue in color to provide high visibility both on the field and for spectators. Prior to practices and games, high-pressure water cannons spray the field to produce an optimal playing surface that has less resistance between the ball and turf.
Athletes also have access to our 35,600 square foot athletic center designed for women’s sports which opened in September 2015. The facility includes three National Federation of State High School Associations regulation basketball and volleyball courts, six international singles squash courts, classrooms for health and physical education, a strength and conditioning room, a dance and yoga studio, and a sports medicine center in addition to locker rooms for home and visiting teams, a press box, and administrative offices.
