Athletics at Franklin Road Academy exist to support the mission of the school.
We believe athletics are fundamental to the educational experience. FRA Athletics supports a Christ-centered philosophy that develops the total person. It is the responsibility of each team and coach to promote self-discipline, self-confidence, teamwork, accountability, and physical development in the student-athlete to prepare them for the challenges they will face in college and in life.
Franklin Road Academy holds a robust athletic tradition, including many titles and honors for our teams and individual awards at all levels of district, regional, and state competition. Development of our student-athletes emphasizes more than just winning; we teach the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship, competitiveness and fair play, and how to act with respect and dignity, both in victory and defeat.
