Boys Varsity Football

Team Overview
Football has had a long-standing and rich tradition here at The Frederick Gunn School, as students at our school have been playing this great sport since the mid-1850’s when Mr. Gunn – our founder – was running the school and organizing games throughout the fall and winter seasons. Mr. Gunn believed that athletics played a significant role in a student’s personal development. He felt, as I do, that physical fitness, leadership, character, and integrity are the essential attributes towards which all Frederick Gunn School student-athletes should aspire.
Today, Gunn does an outstanding job preparing its student-athletes for success beyond The Frederick Gunn School experience. They graduate from here possessing the necessary skills to succeed both academically and athletically at colleges and universities at every level.
In early October 2015, The Frederick Gunn School and Millbrook School announced plans to start an eight-player football initiative among New England preparatory schools. The goal of the initiative is to provide a viable, long-term alternative to the game in its traditional form. Since the initial announcement, more than nine other schools have joined our league.
