Our school just started a booster club. I am at a loss for what the funds go for? Seems like we did fine always winning without a club for many years. Is this a way for parents to influence the coach?
The booster club does important things for your program. It pays for senior day which includes dinner for all. It pays for the end of the year awards dinner. It will pay for a hired person to do the book for stats . It will pay for scouting tapes of opponents. It will also distribute the remaining balance at the end of the year back to the seniors as scholarships. If you make it to counties of states the booster club will pay for the tailgate party and any of the extra expenses that come up. All of this adds up to thousands of dollars. If your town is starting a booster club get involved and volunteer I am sure they would be happy to have your help. Ask questions. At our booster meetings there is a bank statement on the table for all to see and a annual spread sheet itemizing all expenses telling everyone where every dime went. If the booster club is not providing you with access to all of that then they are up to something.
The booster club will also make sure that when outside contracts need to be handled they will be with booster club officials - wink, wink - so the officials can make money off of their neighbors.
