Athletics
KUA competes in a variety of interscholastic sports. Sports and athletic offerings include hockey, skiing (Nordic, alpine and freestyle), basketball, cycling, mountain biking,field hockey, lacrosse, equestrian, soccer, baseball, softball, rugby, cross country, fitness training, swimming, and a wilderness program.
Every student is required to participate in two group activities a year, which include athletics, arts and independent pursuits. Kimball Union offers teams at different levels, so there is a team appropriate for every student who wants to play.
Athletics facilities center on the Whittemore Athletic Center, which includes the Akerstrom Ice Arena. There are five playing fields for soccer and/or lacrosse; a football field; baseball and softball diamonds; two basketball courts, an all-weather track; an ice hockey arena, with indoor turf in the off season; one weight room; and a swimming pool. A heated outdoor turf field was completed in 2006. The Miller Classroom Building, formerly the student center, houses a fitness center. Cross-country running and ski trails cut across portions of the campus and through surrounding woods, and there is alpine skiing 15 minutes away at Whaleback Ski Area.
In 2007 Kimball Union's fall sports enjoyed a sweep of NEPSAC Championships, boys soccer, football, and field hockey each won their respective tournaments.
