Collier County Athletic Conference

The Collier County Athletic Conference (CCAC) is made up of seven high schools in Collier County, Florida. The schools involved are:

• Barron Collier High School
• Golden Gate High School
• Gulf Coast High School
• Immokalee High School
• Lely High School
• Naples High School
• Palmetto Ridge High School

The athletic directors in the county had discussed for a number of years the formation of a conference. It was decided that the addition of two new county schools in 2004 raised the number sufficiently to warrant the start of the CCAC. The county athletic directors spent the 2004 - 2005 school year forming the policies to regulate the conference. The athletic directors were:

• Barron Collier HS - Joe Kemper
• Golden Gate HS - Jim Ragusa
• Gulf Coast HS - Larry Sather
• Immokalee HS - Linda Ayer
• Lely HS - Patty Moul
• Naples HS - Ernie Modugno
• Palmetto Ridge HS - Mario Doria

The conference was started to promote competition between the schools in a positive manner and to give student-athletes more opportunity for recognition and awards. It also simplified the scheduling process for the schools by regulating a specific number of contests between each school in every sport.

Conference play between the schools began in the fall of 2005.^[1]

The CCAC crowns an all-sports champion at the end of each school year. The champion is determined by a points system based on a school's final standing in each sport. The all-sports champions to date are:

• 2005 - 2006: Barron Collier HS
• 2006 - 2007: Barron Collier HS
• 2007 - 2008: Barron Collier HS
• 2008 - 2009: Barron Collier HS
