Duffield Sports Center

The extraordinary generosity of the Duffield family is the starting point for a complex consisting of two new buildings and playing field. The Duffield Sports Center’s main purpose is to support the Academy’s interscholastic athletic program, but it will also serve as a community center where the entire Academy community can gather for a celebration or learning experience in addition to a game.

On a limited basis, we also allow non-profit groups to rent our athletic facilities.
