Craig Damon, executive director of the Florida High School Athletic Association , is ready to pitch a reclassification plan that would reduce the number of state championships in major team sports starting with the 2026-27 school year.

There are now eight classifications, based on student enrollment counts, with a Rural division (1R) and Class 1A through 7A playoff brackets for football, baseball, softball and girls volleyball. Soccer has seven classes (1A-7A).

Heading into a Monday meeting of the FHSAA’s 13-person board of directors, Damon favors a revision that would still have eight playoff brackets but cut the number of state title classes to six. FHSAA staffers are tasked with reclassifying schools every two years and alignment is listed as a discussion item on Monday’s agenda.
