Athletics Teams at Greenhills School

Every Student. Every Team. All In.

Athletics at Greenhills are an essential part of how students learn and grow in body, mind, and character. We believe the lessons of sport mirror the best of education: the pursuit of excellence, the power of teamwork, and the discovery of personal strength through challenge. Our program welcomes all students to participate, to compete with heart, and to grow into strong, ethical, and gracious athletes.

From middle school through varsity play, student-athletes are led by professional educators and coaches who teach athletic skills, foster leadership, and cultivate wellness—preparing students not only for games, but for life. Whether chasing a championship or trying something new, Greenhills athletes represent our school with integrity, pride, and a deep sense of community. We don’t just play to win, we play to become our best selves.

We meet each athlete where they are and challenge them to grow.

Middle School: Explore, Play, Belong
In middle school, students learn to compete, and how to do it the right way. The focus is on participation, skill-building, and discovering the joy of sport. Students are encouraged to try new things, take healthy risks, and develop the confidence that comes from being part of a team. Coaching emphasizes the educational value of athletics—teaching fundamentals, promoting fitness, and nurturing the social and emotional skills that make team experiences so rewarding.

Upper School: Train, Compete, Lead
In the upper school, athletics become more competitive while maintaining a strong commitment to personal development and team culture. Students deepen their skills, embrace higher levels of training, and learn how to lead. Coaches introduce goal-setting, conditioning, strategic thinking, and prepare athletes for championship-level play. While competition intensifies, character remains at the core.

Greenhills Boys Varsity Lacrosse

“I don’t think that Greenhills could have prepared me any better for college and college tennis. Throughout my time at Greenhills I always strived to do my best academically and athletically, of course, and I learned so much about how to balance a pretty rigorous academic load while also pursuing my passion for tennis to the highest and fullest extent…”

Mert Oral ’22 | University of Michigan Varsity Tennis Player

Track and Field Proves it Belongs Among Best in State

Last spring, the Greenhills track and field team arrived at the state meet with excitement and curiosity. Qualifying athletes had earned their place, but for many, simply reaching the state stage felt like an accomplishment. Then something changed. The Gryphons didn’t just participate—they competed, scored points, and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the best programs in Michigan and realized they belonged there. This season, they returned with a different mindset.

Girls Tennis Claims League and Regional Championships on the Way to States

For the Greenhills girls tennis team, the past two weeks have felt less like a breakthrough and more like the arrival of something hard earned and long in the making. On May 9, the Gryphons won the Catholic High School League (CHSL) Bishop Division championship—the first league title in program history, which it split with perennial power Farmington Hills Mercy.

Girls Soccer Earns CHSL Playoff Bid, Remains Undefeated in League Play

There’s a particular kind of energy that builds when a team refuses to let a game slip away—when effort compounds, belief spreads, and something improbable begins to feel inevitable. That energy was unmistakable on the field this week, as Greenhills girls soccer secured its place in the Catholic High School League (CHSL) playoffs in dramatic fashion.

Boys Lacrosse Building Something That Lasts

Before the first whistle, before the first pass, before the first faceoff, there is a question that sits at the heart of the Greenhills boys lacrosse program: What are we really here to build? For Head Coach Jack Hill, the answer begins well beyond wins and losses.
