South Florida High School Football?

Its the wild wild west out here. Add to that the 7 on 7 teams and the "street agents" "handlers" "mentors" its crazy.

Florida Fire typically has a Palm Beach, Broward and Dade team, then they create an allstar team of the 3 teams for major tournaments.

SFE has one team.

Thank you. So does the SFE play the Florida fire Dade/broward/palm beach teams? Or do they play against the all star team?

The whole address thing was eliminated when Scott signed HB 7029...HB 7029 allows kids to transfer to any school in the State as long as that school has room.

To give you an example, a kid from Dade, can actually transfer to a school in Palm Beach as long as that school has room.

Now Dade to Palm Beach is an extreme example, but you get my point.

"Gov. Rick Scott’s put his lawmaking pen to work Thursday, signing 20 bills into law, five of which honed in on education in the Sunshine State.

Among the bills signed into law was HB 7029, perhaps the most wide-sweeping education bill passed during this year’s legislative session. The bill, which received generally positive support in both the House and Senate, will have many different effects on Florida’s education system.

One of the key features of the bill allows parents to send their children to any school in the state as long as it has room. The transfer process would require school districts to post which schools have space for transfer students on their website and would let parents cross school district and county lines to have their child attend a different school.

The “transfer anywhere” provision would begin in the 2017-2018 school year.

Sports would also be affected by the new legislation, which will allow private schools to join the Florida High School Athletics Association (FHSAA) on a per-sport basis and make students who transfer immediately eligible for sports."

Thanks for the update, I figured things have changed.

It's not a 100% free for all. You can't just transfer from one school to another whenever you want. Any school that is at or near capacity, can't take transfers from outside their local area. Your school has to be designated "underpopulated". Most schools in Dade and Broward aren't underpopulated. Kids still use addresses of friends and family members to get around the transfer rules. My good friend is a high school administrator and he tells me about kids transferring to and from his school all the time. The school board kind of turns a blind eye towards it. At least in Broward. They have bigger issues than kids transferring to play sports.

Private schools definitely recruit although they're not allowed to offer athletic scholarships. They find plenty of ways around that rule though. From discounted tuition to part time jobs for student and parents, if St. Thomas or American Heritage wants you, they'll find a way to get you enrolled.

In relationship to Miami Dade you are factually incorrect, Booker T 45%, Carol City 35%, Central 68%, and Northwestern 63% -
"Parental Choice" allows transfers to whatever school you wish to attend, and as far as the private schools all they need to do is accept
McKay scholarships and government pays the majority of the tuition. Miami Dade is absolutely the wild west.
