Theaim of thisstudy is to examine the perceived social support levels of students who participate in school sports in secondary education institutions. The sample of the study consists of 423 students who participate in school sports in secondary education institutions of Düzce Merkez District. The Perceived Social Support Scale used in the collection of data was used and applied to students in 9 secondary education institutions of Düzce Merkez District. Perceived Social Support Scale (ASDÖ-R) was developed by Y?ld?r?m (2004,241-250) to measure the social support perceived by adolescents, family, friends and teachers. In the analysis of the data, the Levene Test was used to check the homogeneity and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to check the normality of the distribution. In the normality test conducted, it was seen that the data were normally distributed for allanalyzes. Since the distribution is normal, independent t test was used in the comparison of two unrelated samples, and one way ANOVA was used in comparing two unrelated samples. MANOVA test is applied if the variance-covariance matrices Show homogeneity among the variables when the dependent variable is more than one. As a result, there was no statistically significant difference between licensed sports outside school and participation in team or individual sports in school sports (p> 0.05). Moreover a significant difference was found in favor of social support points perceived from friends by sex (p<0.05). The statistical difference that emerges is that women have a perceived social support score from higher friends. In addition, a significant difference was found in the comparison of social support perceived from the family by the number of siblings (p<0.05).
