The Florida Coaches Coalition (FCC) was founded in December 2021 by Dr. Andrew Ramjit, then County Athletic Director of Brevard Public

School to advocate for improved compensation and working conditions for high school coaches across the state. The coalition was founded in response to concerns over outdated supplemental pay systems, which have not kept pace with inflation and the rising cost of living. Beyond pay, there was a need in Florida to unify coaches across all sports and levels (high school, middle school, and youth).

The coalition began as a grassroots movement under the hashtag #PayFLCoaches, gaining rapid traction through social media. Dr. Ramjit's initial tweet highlighting the issue went viral, amassing over 500,000 impressions and drawing national media attention. Since its inception, the FCC has grown into Florida's largest coaching organization, boasting over 15,000 members representing more than 1,200 teams statewide.

The FCC's mission is to "fight for the rights of every Florida coach," focusing on areas such as fair compensation, improved working conditions, and access to professional development resources.

Florida Coaches Coalition is a 501c3 non-profit organization.
