This is the first year of a new three-year agreement with the FHSAA, which is proudly hosted by the Treasure Coast Sports Commission, Historic Dodgertown, Indian River County Parks and Recreation, Indian River County, and St. Lucie West Centennial High School.

The ultimate goal of hosting this event is to highlight Indian River County as a premier sports paradise. Although the Treasure Coast Sports Commission is the host organization, putting this all together has truly been a team effort. Without the support from Indian River County Parks and Recreation, Indian River County, Historic Dodgertown, St. Lucie West Centennial High School and many Athletic Directors on the Treasure Coast hosting this event would not be possible” states Rick Hatcher, Executive Director of the Treasure Coast Sports Commission.
