Booster Club Mission
• We are a support group to provide the coaches the
tools necessary to build a competitive program
• Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend monthly
booster club meetings, or email any of our members
with questions or concerns – on field issues should be
directed to the coaches
• Provide top quality coaching and training – the school
provides 3 coaches, the booster club funds any
additional coaches and ALL off season programs
• We are all interested in bettering our daughters high
school lacrosse experience
• Ensuring valuable training and a positive experience is
provided for your daughter through your booster club
fees
• Building committed, disciplined, and competitive
teams while maintaining a fun experience through off
season programs
Booster Club Accountability
• Program deliverables
– Booster Club must build fundraising
programs to offset the cost associated with
playing Lacrosse
– Booster Club must offer a high quality off
and pre season program
• Quality coaching
• Quality location and times- i.e. try for Sunday
afternoons
– Booster Club must be transparent
• financial, communications, administration, etc.
2014 Season Outlook
• Possible 20+ Seniors returning – will
be a big senior night for everyone
• Solid returning coaching staff
• Great start on pre season training,
currently being coached by Margaret
Monson and Rob Graff, average 30
attendees for each of the 3 sessions
so far
2014 Financial Changes
• 2014 Budget Changes
– Web site now being Managed by Cynbad
Media to improve exposure and
communication
– Added 5 Champion Hall and 2 First
Athlete pre season training sessions
– Additional coaching/training will be
incorporated into captains practices
– Planning formalized pre and off season
training practice sessions (Possible
Sunday Evenings)
2014 Booster Club Fees
Budget is open and available for anyone to review
Booster Club invites all to attend
2012 Fees $135.00 - 2013 Fees $185.00
2014 Fees will be $295.00
Booster Club Goal is to grow the fundraising
consistent with the growth of the program to maintain
value and affordability
• Disciplined use of SCRIP program would allow you to
pay your entire booster club fee, talk to a band
member
• By selling plastic bags you have the ability to
immediately reduce $100.00 of your Booster Club fee
• Please take advantage of the fundraising options to
offset or completely pay for your booster fee or pay
$295.00 and no fundraising is required, it is up to you
