Athletics are an important part of the overall educational program at Bradenton Prep. We offer interscholastic competition beginning in the 6th grade and have been ranked as the #2 Athletic Program among private schools in our classification by the Florida High School Athletic Association.
Participation in athletics is a privilege available to all eligible students. This privilege carries with it personal responsibilities. At BPA the emphasis on academic achievement is of primary importance and athletic achievement is secondary to this responsibility.
Our scholastic athletics provides another dimension of education. The program strives to develop in students positive values and habits so that personal growth and development occurs. Preparing students to succeed in their future endeavors is a primary priority of the athletic program. Sound athletic programs teach young people values and lifelong skills such as accountability, sportsmanship, confidence, leadership skills, organizational skills, persistence, work ethic, self-discipline, social skills, teamwork, performing under pressure, the ability to take instruction, and striving for excellence. BPA athletic programs are designed with the development of these qualities in mind.
The Athletic program plays a unique role in joining the school and community. Civic pride and identification with BPA are results of athletic participation that can last a lifetime. The athletic department aspires to generate community and school pride in all of those students who choose to participate.
