Introduction

The enviable expanse of playing fields and first class indoor facilities enable all the boys to participate in a large variety of sports and activities. The games programme is full and varied and boys take part in organised games five afternoons per week – principally football, rugby, hockey and cross country in the winter and cricket, athletics, tennis and swimming in the summer.

A huge number of matches is organised for Wednesday and Saturday afternoons and these provide opportunities for achievement and fun for all the boys. We take trouble to give everybody the chance to represent the school at some stage during the term and sometimes we field as many as twelve teams on one afternoon.

Ludgrove sport tries not to involve only the talented and we value the importance of being part of a team at whatever level. We encourage parents anf families to come and support the boys and join us for tea afterwards.

We involve the boys in a wide range of other sports and activities and our sports centre is home to a large sports hall (for indoor hockey and football, badminton, judo fencing and gymnastics), two squash courts, two Eton fives courts and a magnificent twenty-two metre indoor swimming pool. In the grounds there are four tennis courts, a beautiful nine-hole golf course, croquet lawn and a small adventure playground.

With so many activities on offer for the boys, there is little opportunity to be bored and they are encouraged to be involved in as many activities as possible.
