Message from the commissioner Welcome to the 2024 CIF Southern Section Athletic Administrators Summit Presented by eTeamSponsor!

We are excited to be back at the Riverside Convention Center with some excellent speakers and professional development opportunities for the Principals, Presidents, Superintendents, Athletic Directors, and Athletic Trainers of the Southern Section. Our goal is to present timely topics from experts in their field to support our member schools in the advancement of their athletic programs.

I would like to personally thank eTeamSponsor for their numerous years of support for this event and all those who took the time to be with us today. Please take advantage of the breakfast hosted by Playon as well as the lunch we will provide before you leave today.

A special thank you to all the vendors who support the Summit as well as the Citrus Belt Area Athletic Directors who assisted with check-in and the CIF Southern Section Staff for their genuine dedication and support of this event.

Have a great day, everyone!
