(Atheltic Directors-Baseball-Softball-Swimming_Tennis-Track)

The 2009 FACA Spring Sports Clinic is set for December 10th – 12th at the Daytona Beach Hilton Oceanfront Resort (100 North Atlantic Ave…386-254-8200).  FACA State Sports Chairmen, Ed McPadden (athletic directors), Pat McQuaid (baseball), Mark Schusterman (softball), Tom Fagley (swimming), John Danise (tennis) and David Halliday (track) are putting together an outstanding array of speakers and topics for our state coaches. (click on each sport to view clinic schedule).

The FACA State Sports Committee (district chairman and vice-chairman) in basketball, soccer, and wrestling will meet during the clinic.  These will be very important meetings to discuss recommendations concerning the FACA All-Star Games, Clinics, and recommendations to the FHSAA.  This will give each FACA district a chance to have input into the decision-making process.

Each of the FACA State Sports Chairmen serve on the FHSAA sports advisory committee in their respective sport.  These are the committees where changes or additions to current rules and regulations are discussed before sending on to the FHSAA Board of Directors for a vote.  If you have concerns in your sport, be sure to attend these FACA meetings at your October Clinic.

The Daytona Beach Hilton Oceanfront Resort is offering a room rate of $85.00 plus tax per night single or double and free parking.  The cutoff date for this special rate is November 18th.  Be sure to tell them you are with the FACA Fall Clinic for this special rate.

Clinic registration is free to 2009-10 FACA members and $60.00 for non-members.  You can print a FACA membership application from this web site and mail along with your check for $60.00 made out to FACA or you can register and pay at the clinic.  The advantage of registering immediately is that as a FACA member, you are covered with the FACA One Million Dollar Professional Liability Policy which covers all of your duties as a high school junior high or high school coach.  Your association is continuing to work for you.

You may sign up for in-service points (25 points…must be approved by your county) at not extra cost.  For more information, call the FACA Office in Ocala at 352 368-7866 or E-mail:  Wbarnette1@aol.com.
