The Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) has partnered with C2Cschools.com, which is a website created for athletic directors, coaches, administrators, students, parents and fans throughout the United States.  Athletic directors design their own web pages for their schools and post game schedules, photos and other information of interest to the public.  Through C2Cschools.com, schools report the scores from games, process contracts to compete against other schools, and submit eligibility reports to FHSAA.

C2Cschools.com is not only provided free to schools, but also serves as a fundraiser.  The local community can purchase banners in order to advertise businesses or congratulate students on accomplishments.  From each monthly advertiser payment, C2C retains $75.00 from each advertiser, and the remainder after taxes, is paid to the school.  For example, if a school sells 10 banners, the school could earn $6,000.00. 

Schools are obligated to upload scores after each event within 30 minutes, input stats for each game, upload game photos and video highlights, keep the C2C calendar up to date, highlight top students for sports and clubs, help sell banners to generate revenue for the school, and mention their school’s C2C website on all programs, newsletters, the official school website, and school announcements, and to announce the availability of C2Cschools.com at all sport events.
