Sarasota County Schools offers a variety of opportunities for students to participate in athletic endeavors, including competitive sports. The School Board of Sarasota County has adopted a resolution promoting good sportsmanship among student athletes and the adults who guide them. The resolution calls for the promotion of the highest standards of sportsmanship at all times and calls on coaches to convey the values of sportsmanship and good conduct, including fair play, respect, and graciousness in winning or losing. The document also cites the responsibility of high school principals to ensure that school athletes adhere to the high standards set forth by the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA).
