About
The Florida Athletic Club (FAC)
The Florida Athletic Club was
formed in 1988 as the only State-Wide club in Florida. We welcome
athletes of all ages and ability. FAC has no age group requirement,
and we have athletes from ages 10-90. Our Masters' team constitutes
one of the top Masters' Track & Field and Race Walking Teams in
the country. FAC, under the name of "FLORIDA ATHLETICS, INC."
is a recognized charity under the Internal Revenue Code, and as such
all donations are tax deductible. We are also exempt from the state's
sales tax.
FAC pays all of the USATF club registration fees, Florida Convention
fees, newsletter, mailings, equipment, office expenses, and underwrites
the cost of medals, and uniforms. We host an Annual Award Banquet
and provide free club patches to all new members. We maintain not
only our club membership, but mailing lists of over 900 potential
participants in track & field.
It is expected that the unofficial National Masters Track & Field
team championships will become official in the near future. These
are the only team championships held in Masters’ competition. Thus,
by combining our efforts Florida should score high in team scoring.
FAC is a major sponsor of track meets in the state of Florida. Our
club dues go towards underwriting the cost of these meets. This year
we will host many track meets throughout the state.
Also as a state-wide club, we have established chapters throughout
the state of Florida. Each chapter elects their own officers and sponsors
events. Any profits from these event(s) goes to the sponsoring chapter.
If a chapter has more than fifty members, FAC will provide a special
patch indicating the chapters' name.
