Being physically active and doing sports in adolescence is significant during regular education, as well as in free time. It contributes the most to socialization, development of cooperation and a healthy competitive spirit. The aim of this research is to determine the existence of a mutual connection between social status of adolescents and sport orientation with a case study of one class that achieves great results in school. The results of the research have shown that orientation towards sports and physical activities affects social status of students, that is, students chosen for joint activities in sports are also students who have positive sport preferences. Social status of students is conditioned by physical activity in P.E. lessons, as well as preferences towards group sports (p<0.01), whereas the importance of the idea of sport and the degree of doing sport activities in free time, is not linked to social status in class in terms of sport activities. With this, we conclude that school is an important factor in developing social competences of students.
