Varsity Basketball at SBS has a recent tradition of success. From 1996 - 2001, the team qualified for the New England tournament, and looks to that achievement as a goal each winter. In December, SBS hosts the Holiday Basketball Tournament, which brings in great competition from all over New England as well as from other parts of the country. Stoneleigh-Burnham is a member of Class C in the New England Prepatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC). Check our Alumnae Achievements page which highlights many of our basketball players who have gone to compete at the college level and beyond.
