Why the Booster Club Exists • Jeffco gives Chatfield $30,000/year for equipment and supplies for 47 levels of 23 sports • Girls lacrosse can use (borrow) ~$1,000/year • We need to save $2,500/yr. for uniforms • FSA rental for tryouts costs $1,050/year • Coach’s equipment request comes to ~$1,000/year • Also, the “programming”…
Booster Club Purposes • Supplement the funding provided by Jeffco Public Schools • Procure and maintain equipment used by the program • Implement “programming” to complement core in-season practice and competition activities: • Scoring, statistics, and timing for games • Events and recognition: kickoff, team dinners, senior night, banquet • Pride and spirit: apparel, photography/videography, etc. • Offseason leagues and clinics • It is NOT the booster club’s purpose or business to meddle in: • Coaching staff personnel matters • Coaching matters (team placement, playing time, game tactics, etc.) • Team chemistry matters
Budget Structure & Principles • Self-funding expenses: • Winter leagues and clinic • Banquet (for the most part) • Summer youth clinic fundraiser • Non-self-funding expenses (where $150 player dues go): • Savings for uniforms • Foothills Sports Arena rental for tryouts • Coach’s equipment request • General operating expenses: website, game video, etc. • Kickoff event, senior and coaches gifts, etc. • Principle: strive for a slight budget surplus • Variables: number of players, weather
Strengths and Traditions • Pride and spirit: uniformity, apparel, photography • Events and recognition: kickoff event, senior night • Offseason activities: winter leagues and clinic • Fundraising approach • Summer youth clinic • Player dues in lieu of program-wide fundraising duties • King Soopers Neighborhood Rewards program • Financial health • Website – a great communication tool • Statistics – maxpreps, honors and recruiting value
