Lessons for life
Athletics has been an integral part of a student’s education at Ransom Everglades throughout the school’s history. Head coaches are teachers and educators, and many are part of the academic faculty. Our goal is to foster a student's passion for sports while instilling leadership skills, teamwork and a lifelong work ethic.
We don’t recruit athletes. We build programs. The middle and upper schools field 76 teams for boys and girls in 17 sports. More than half of our students play on at least one team every year. Some 15 percent of Raider athletes go on to play at the collegiate level.
No matter their next steps in life, student-athletes depart Ransom Everglades with skills and values that help them lead and thrive.

Raider Sailing rolls in strong performance
Read MoreDespite blustery conditions cutting the weekend short, the Raiders sailing team turned their home waters into a showcase of dominance. Ransom Everglades hosted two SAISA South Points Regattas this weekend, but high winds and cold temperatures forced Sunday’s racing to be canceled for safety reasons. Saturday, however, delivered six full races across Varsity and Junior Varsity divisions—and the Raiders made the most of it. Competing in medium-to-light wind conditions, the team completed a clean sweep, winning both the Varsity and Junior Varsity regattas and capturing first place in every division. Home-water advantage and relentless preparation paid off, as Raider sailors controlled the fleet from start to finish.

His organization and constant support helped make the regatta a true success.Junior Varsity Results
