Do you have any experience with booster clubs?

"I'll typically offer suggestions for my coaches for activities and how to organize them. You can't tap into them throughout the year, so you need to strategize the best time to take advantage of what they have to offer. When used appropriately, they can engage the parents, make it fun for the students, and capture the community's attention."

"Any time I've needed to get creative, I've taken advantage of booster clubs. Frequently, when parents are upset about having to spring for their student's equipment, I'll keep the booster club idea up my sleeve to offer as a solution to their problem. Whether raising money through a car wash or a fun run, we've been able to engage and involve parents and students to help with sports equipment or travel expenses."

Discuss occasions where you had to recruit the help of or form a Booster Club to address budgetary concerns. Share whether you were directly involved in the efforts or got the parents, students, coaches, or other administrators involved to spearhead those efforts while enriching the student experience.
