Welcome to Avon Old Farms School baseball, where excellence meets education on the diamond. Our program is dedicated to fostering the holistic development of athletes, recognizing the invaluable life lessons that accompany the pursuit of success in baseball.
Avon players not only compete at the highest level but also embrace the educational opportunities embedded in athletics. We prioritize the development of physical and mental skills, teamwork, competition, and most importantly, fun. Our players respect the game, play at a high level, and strive to maximize their personal potential, opening doors to future baseball opportunities.
With a stellar varsity baseball record of 475-99 since 1996 and 16 league championships, our legacy speaks volumes. Avon competes in the Founders League, facing top-tier teams like Choate, Hotchkiss, and more. A rigorous 20-game league schedule in April, coupled with an 8-game exhibition series in Florida, sets the stage for exciting matchups against elite prep school programs.
Carpenter Field, our pride and joy, offers a picturesque setting for players and spectators alike. The program benefits from a club-house style locker room, batting tunnel, and access to the school's fitness center and indoor fieldhouse. Our commitment to strength and conditioning is further emphasized through a dedicated coach, promoting responsible and safe development.
Beyond the renowned varsity team, Avon boasts competitive junior varsity and thirds teams, ensuring a rewarding baseball experience for all skill levels. With at least two coaches at each level, our program is designed to nurture talent from the ground up.
Our off-season regimen focuses on strength and conditioning, yoga, nutrition, and sports psychology. The annual spring trip to Florida serves as a bonding experience, with intensive practices and exhibition games. The Founders League Championship playoff system adds an exciting dimension to our spring season.
