Are spring football jamborees becoming a thing of the past in Brevard County?

With spring football practice beginning Monday, April 27, for most schools across the state, only 9 of Brevard County's 18 programs will be taking part in spring jamboree games against another school.

Teams can have up to 20 practices during the spring.

Brevard County has 16 varsity programs and two eight-man programs.

Seven schools have intrasquad games planned, while three schools said they have no spring games or jamborees planned.
