About This Team
The Program
The team has advanced to the New England Tournament in twenty-three of the last twenty-six years including a visit to the New England finals in 2019 and 2010, semi-final appearances in 2022, 2016 and 2014, and a co-championship of Class A in 2002. The 2011, 2010, and 2006 (co-champions) teams won the Independent School League.
Of even greater significance is that the Nobles team has been recognized as an Academic All-American Team three times by the National Soccer Coaches of America for the combination of excellence displayed both academically and athletically.
Nobles has also had five players in recent years continue on to play at the professional level including Chris Tierney (New England Revolution), Michael Videira (Chicago Fire), David Mahoney (Chicago Fire, Andrew Terris (DC United), and Chris Cleary (German Club Team).
