American football

In 2013, Rockledge alumnus and NFL player Laurent Robinson donated 15 Shockbox concussion sensors to the school.[8] Rockledge was the first high school in Florida to use such technology to monitor its players, which will occur throughout the 2013–14 season in collaboration with researchers from the University of South Florida.[9]

The school won the state championship in 3A football in 2001 and 2002.[10]
