The Florida High School Athletics Association Track and Field State Championships will be conducted on April 29, 30 and May 6, 7, 2005 and April 28, 29 and May 5, 6, 2006 at Coral Springs High School. The track and field championships showcase the top female and male athletes and teams in the state of Florida. Over 2,500 athletes and coaches annually participa G^3K^0nals. Further, over 15,000 spectators will attend and view the championships each year. Through Sun Sports TV Network, local and state print media the focus and attention for high school sports will be on Coral Springs High and The School Board of Broward County. This is the second time in the history of high school sports that the track and field state championships have been conducted in Broward County and South Florida. The FHSAA State Track and Field championships were previously held at Coral Springs High in 2001 and 2002.
The School Board of Broward County, Florida and the Florida High School Activities Association (FHSAA) have been in negotiations over the past four months on a contract to cover the terms and conditions of the state championships. The contract covers a wide range of issues including but not limited to; event receipts, compensation to FHSAA, merchandising, ticket sales, parking, beverage sales, television, hospitality, etc.
Under the terms of the contract, the FHSAA will be paid $30,000 for the rights to host the event at Coral Springs High School. The sources of funds for this fee is City of Coral Springs - $10,000, Broward County Convention and Visitors Bureau - $15,000 and the Broward County Athletic Association - $5,000. All ticket, concession and parking revenue will be retained by Coral Springs High. Operational expenses for the championship will be paid from the generated event revenue.
By hosting the track and field championships at Coral Springs High, the school system will save approximately $100,000 in travel, hotel, per diem, and substitute expenses for our athletes and coaches. The past two years the championships were conducted in Gainesville, Florida. Further, our students and coaches will also not miss any school time since the championships are being held in Broward County. Last year Ft. Lauderdale High Boys team and Pompano Beach Girls team won respective state track and field titles.
The contract has been agreed to form and content by the School Board Attorney. The Florida High School athletic association will act on the agreement following School Board approval.
There is no financial impact to The School Board of Broward County, Florida. Funds to pay the FHSAA for event hosting rights are provided by the Broward County Convention and Visitors Bureau, City of Coral Springs and the Broward County Athletic Association.
