During the summer of 2003 a group of
little league coaches approached State Representative Chris Smith to solicit
support for youth athletics. During the conversation the coaches mentioned that
teams in other parts of the County participated in an Allstar Game and kids from
Central Broward did not have the same opportunity. Representative Smith, having
grown up in Central Broward and having played for Southwest Saints and
Lauderdale Lakes Vikings immediately began to organize a game for the kids in
his Legislative District. In 2003 the first
Chris Smith Allstar Football Classic was held at Dillard High School on what seemed to be the coldest day of the year. Each year since 2003 the Chris Smith
Allstar Football Classic has grown in size and stature. In 2006 Representative
Smith, after a lot of discussions with "Cheerleader Moms" added Allstar
Cheerleaders to complete the family
atmosphere.
