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.

Raiders shine in Canal 54 race series #2 regatta
Read MoreLast weekend the Raiders competed at the Canal 54 Race Series #2 Regatta in Fellsmere, Florida. The Raiders had 32 athletes compete in 13 events. The regatta ended up being another dual meet vs Sebastian River Rowing due to other teams not being able to attend for various reasons at the last minute. Conditions were optimal early but wind speeds would make rowing more difficult as the day went on with 15-20 mph winds. The Raiders would find success in the Boys 8+, Girls Varsity 4+, Girls Lightweight 1x, and the Girls Varsity 2x with victories. The Raiders also had a strong showing in the Girls Junior 8+, the Girls Lightweight 2x and the Boys Junior 2x. The team will get back to training as they prepare for the Miami International Regatta/ FSRA South District Championships on April 1st, in Miami. We hope to see you there and supporting our athletes!
