Stoneleigh-Burnham Varsity Soccer competes against strong competition from all over New England. Stoneleigh-Burnham plays in the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) and in the Western New England Preparatory School Athletic Association (WNEPSAA). SBS also recently became a founding member of the River Valley Athletic League (RVAL), and won the inagural championship game in the Fall of 2010. SBS Soccer prides itself on always playing hard and having good sportsmanship. Across the years, the Owls have posted some impressive records, and look to continue to challenge themselves as they take the field each fall.
