Noble and Greenough School

Bulldog Baseball 

The Nobles Baseball program has had a proud and rich tradition over the past several decades. Nobles Baseball competes in the talent laded ISL (Independent School League) which is traditionally known as one of the strongest leagues in the New England Area.  

The baseball team plays a very competitive 20 game schedule (15 ISL League games) while also facing several other formidable non-league opponents throughout New England, such as Worcester Academy, Dexter, Tabor and Pingree.

There are three levels of play for baseball players to participate in while at Nobles (Varsity, Junior Varsity and Middle School). Every player at each level will receive outstanding coaching and will be provided with the opportunity to learn, develop, and improve their baseball skills on a daily basis. 

In the last 5 years Nobles baseball players have gone on to play at colleges such as Bowdoin, Brown, Gettysburg, Colby, Trinity, Virginia Tech, Villanova and the University of Maine.
