Coral Springs football teams wrap up spring schedules and shift full attention toward preparations for the upcoming fall 2026 season
Coral Springs, Florida – High school football across Coral Springs has officially shifted gears. After weeks of spring games, scrimmages, and final tune-ups, all local programs have closed out their spring schedules and now turn their focus toward the long stretch leading into the 2026 regular season. The energy on the field has changed too—less experimentation, more anticipation, and plenty of early talk about what fall might bring.
Among the city programs, Coral Glades enters the new season carrying the most momentum. The Jaguars finished last year with a solid 6-5 record and used their spring finale for an intersquad scrimmage that gave coaches a clearer look at roster depth and competition on both sides of the ball. It was a year marked by steady wins, including victories over Coral Springs High School, J.P. Taravella, Coral Springs Charter, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, Stranahan, and Hallandale High School.
Their playoff run added another layer to the season, even though it ended with a loss to Miami Palmetto Senior High School. Still, the Jaguars showed they can compete late into the year, and expectations are building again as they prepare for a demanding schedule. Coral Glades will open the 2026 season on Aug. 21 at Blanche Ely High School, followed quickly by a road trip to North Broward Prep. The home crowd will get its first look in September when Cypress Bay High School visits, and the schedule only grows more demanding from there with matchups against Park Vista, Nova, Spanish River, South Plantation, Boca Raton, Boyd H. Anderson, and Marjory Stoneman Douglas.
Other programs in the area are taking different paths into the new season. J.P. Taravella met Somerset Academy of North Lauderdale during its spring action, continuing a rebuilding stretch that has tested the program in recent years. The Trojans managed only one win last season, a narrow moment of relief against Pompano Beach High School that ended an 18-game losing streak. That win also echoed their previous success against the same opponent during the 2023 season. Now, Taravella enters the fall as an independent program, hoping that a fresh structure can bring more consistency.
Coral Springs High School also had a season filled with struggles, finishing with just one victory. That lone win came in a strong finish, a 40-7 result over J.P. Taravella in the final game of the regular season. It was a much-needed breakthrough, especially after a year in which the team managed to score more than 20 points only once. The late spark offered a glimpse of what the offense could become with time and development.

Coral Springs Charter, meanwhile, wrapped up spring play on a more positive note after finishing last season at 6-5. Their final scrimmage came against Parkridge Christian Academy, a program making its very first appearance on the field. The matchup added an unusual twist to the spring calendar, with Parkridge Christian marking its debut in competitive play. Jacob Warren and Ramon Brayan each scored for the new program, giving it an early moment of history despite the result.
Looking ahead, Parkridge Christian Academy will officially launch its inaugural season on Aug. 14 with a road game at Ida Baker High School. The following week brings its first home appearance against Pompano Beach High School, before a full schedule that includes both home and away challenges against programs such as South Miami, Boca Raton Community, Palm Beach Christian, Somerset Prep, Somerset Academy South Homestead, Northeast, Glades Day, NextGen Prep, and Marathon High School.
As spring fades into summer, Coral Springs football now sits in a familiar place—some programs rising, others rebuilding, all of them chasing answers before the first kickoff of fall 2026 arrives.
