, to the athletic mix, but those have not yet been successful.

Despite its status as a fairly small school, Coyle has a rich athletic history that is often bolstered by its ability to admit students outside of the city of Taunton. Recently (within the last ten years), Coyle has particularly dominated Taunton High in the sports of golf, ice hockey, men's soccer, and tennis, winning several coveted city championships. Competing in the talent-laden conference EAC has historically been a problem for certain sports (soccer, tennis, and track specifically), but the school occasionally manages to bring home conference championships. Among all others, the softball and ice hockey teams have undoubetedly been the most successful teams in recent history at the school, both of which are occasionally ranked among the best in the country. In 2003, Taunton was treated to a rare athletic treat when both Coyle and Taunton High won Massachusetts
