FUN FACT: Bench Ball
Bench Ball is an original sport invented by Haverford students in the 1980s and played seated on benches with a tennis ball. Bench Ball games originated in the courtyard behind Wilson Hall, but were suspended in 2007 due to construction. Thankfully, the Bench Ball court has been restored behind the new Upper School.
