Booster Club – Information



We have an organized booster club that takes care of all needs related to our sport.  The booster club is set up into different offices and committees and governed by our track and field constitution and by-laws.  We have an executive board of parents to help in making decisions for our program.  



Purpose:


*To promote and support the boys and girls track and field programs.

*To work with the coaching staff and administrative staff to encourage 

  student, parent and community attendance at AHS track meets.

*To work under the direction of the head coach to raise the funds

  necessary to ensure that the finest uniforms, equipment and

  facilities are available to the runners.

*To create an atmosphere that promotes academic and athletic

  achievement, and that promotes individual and school pride.

*To ensure that the corporation and its individual members provide

  support without becoming or attempting to become involved in the

  decisions that the coaching and administrative staff may make.



Membership Dues:


Our first goal is 100% membership in our booster club for each runner.  Booster club membership dues are $175 per each athlete, with payment due by February 28, 2009.  This payment will entitle each runner and parent(s) membership into the booster club.







Ways $ is Spent:


The primary focus of our booster club is to raise the necessary funds for our team to participate and compete.  Any team expense or need will be our responsibility.  Our budget for track could range between $10,000 to $15,000 dollars.  Here are some of the ways we will spend our money for our athletes and teams.

Fundraising:


Our fundraising activities will be determined before the start of the season.  We will ask everyone to be involved to help with all fundraising.   We will make raising money for our team a big priority this year.  Some fund raising activities could be selling coupon books and coke products, asking for team sponsors and a XC yard sale.
