Football


PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Varsity Football has a long tradition of excellence. Fielding its first team in 1894, Pomfret has established a reputation as one of the most successful programs in New England. Beginning in the 2016 season, Pomfret has partnered with three schools to bring 8-Person football to New England. The goal of the initiative is to provide a viable, long-term alternative to the game in its traditional form. The Griffins will play a seven game regular season with playoffs in the final week. We hope to see you on the sidelines this fall.

  • Gabriel Qua
    Assistant Coach
    Raised in a family of educators, Gabe grew up with nightly dinner table conversations about what he learned at school that day and quizzes about the US presidents. His father, a high school history teacher, and his mother, an elementary art teacher, instilled in him a deep respect for both creativity and critical thought. A lifelong athlete, Gabe found his second home on the basketball court, a passion that led him to play college basketball at Lasell University. It was there that he discovered how powerful the intersection of teaching, coaching, and mentorship could be. Now in his first year as both a teacher and coach, Gabe is excited to build strong relationships and help students grow both in and out of the classroom
