As an unseasonably cold winter begins to come to an end, the Central Florida Sports Commission finds itself hard at work preparing for several upcoming high school state championships, while still pursuing multiple event opportunities on behalf of our partners.

First, the Central Florida Sports Commission, in partnership with West Orange High School, is in the final planning stages for co-hosting the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) State Lacrosse Championships on April 23^rd-24^th. This will mark the 3^rd year that the finals will attract the state's top four (4) boy's and girl's lacrosse teams to Winter Garden. The two (2) day competition will attract approximately 2,500 spectators to our region. Stay tuned to see who is crowned state championships at this year's event!

Just after the Lacrosse Championships, the Sports Commission will team up with Dr. Phillips High School and co-host the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) State Water Polo Championships. The top boy's and girl's water polo teams from across the State of Florida will converge on the YMCA Aquatic Center on April 30 - May 1 for state bragging rights. This marks the 2^nd consecutive year this event will be staged in Orlando. 

As you can see, we have a busy couple of months coming up and we look forward to sharing the results of each of the aforementioned events, along with those taking place in late March and early April, in future impact reports. Thank you for your continued support, as we continue to market Orlando and Orange County as the "Ultimate Sports Destination".
