Under School Choice laws and Controlled Open Enrollment, essentially every transfer is considered a bona fide move by the state of Florida. So the FHSAA will never be able to impose limitations or restrictions based on transfer movement. The best they can hope for is to make adjustments based on results after the fact (e.g. Open/Championship proposal for 2026).
So I looked up new public schools in Florida and this what I found. This doesn’t mean they will have football, it just means they are opening soon.
Morgan High - Hillsborough county opening fall 2025
Legacy High - Port St Lucie opening fall 2025
Wellen Park - Sarasota County opening fall 2026
Soundside High School- Santa Rosa County opening fall 2026
CCC High School- Marion County opening fall 2026
Is it a brand new field? Or did they come up to Hillsborough County, find a field they liked, and convince that field to move down to Venice for a season or two?
I seem to recall having this discussion before. I recall mentioning limiting transfers & roster size, basing classification on transfers, and requiring transfers to either sit a year or play JV. Nobody seemed to like those ideas.
Just so we're clear, I never have had an issue when a player transfers due to a legitimate bona fide move.
