Athletic Facilities
The athletic facilities at The Madeira School are among the finest in the Washington metropolitan area.
The Hurd Sports Center was opened in September 1992. This award-winning facility includes a gym, side-by-side volleyball courts and a basketball court, weight room, competitive swimming pool, dance studio, locker rooms, athletic training room, and offices for the teaching and coaching staff. Outdoor facilities include three full-size playing fields, eight tennis courts, and cross-country trails. Because of our excellent facilities, Madeira hosts many tournaments throughout the school year.
The riding program is enhanced by the availability of the nearly 400 acres of Madeira's campus. Facilities include Gaines Hall a 100 foot by 200 foot indoor ring; two outdoor rings with sand footing; bridle trails; and a variety of cross-country obstacles. The stable has capacity to house forty-seven horses. Students may bring and board their own horses or ride one of Madeira's own horses.
The 25-yard regulation pool has Paragon starting blocks, Wave Breaker lane ropes, Colorado starting and electronic timing system, and a Duraflex diving board.
