After analysing and generalising research data, it was found out that the pupils going in for sports are more often attributed to either the group of leaders or the group of totally ignored pupils. Perhaps, this is caused by striving of the pupils going in for sports to look good, friendliness and obvious social disposition (as the most striking features) or by aggressive and competitive behaviour.Their status changes when moving to upper forms and is dependent upon not only pupils' age but also the attitudes of peers towards sports activiries that prevail in a particular class community. Most often, the character o f roles attributed to those going in for sports is predetermined by their energy and requirements for attention.

Most often, the pupils going in for sports seek to interest their contemporaries in sports activities and form referent groups of pupils going in for sports.
