Booster Club

Booster Clubs

                    Booster clubs offer a positive opportunity for parents to be involved with the athletic program.  Booster clubs are to work in conjunction with, and be supportive of, the coaching staff and the athletes.  They are encouraged to provide and promote fan support and promote good sportsmanship for Parkland High athletics.  These clubs shall not seek to influence or direct the policies or procedures of the athletic program.  This responsibility rests with the Parkland School District Board of School Directors and the administration of Parkland High School.          

                    Any fund raising is to be done in the name of the booster club, not the Parkland School District, the Parkland School District Athletic Department or Parkland High School.  Student athletes are not to be required to take part in fund raising activities, nor are they to be singled out if they do not wish to take part in the fund raising activity.  Participation in these activities must be voluntary.

                    Where advertisements are solicited for programs or other publications, the use of advertisers who are typically associated with the sale of alcoholic beverages or tobacco products is not permitted.

                    Booster clubs are invited to use the high school facilities for club meetings and other functions.  Use of the facilities must be scheduled through the athletic office in advance.  Booster clubs running concession stands at school events must have approval from the athletic office in advance.  When running concession stands they should assist in keeping food and drink out of restricted areas and in keeping the area litter free.                                          

                    Booster clubs should provide the athletic office with a list of officers, their addresses and phone numbers, and proposed fund raising activities as they arise. There should also be on file in the athletic office a copy of the current club constitution and by-laws.  All booster clubs must submit a copy of their treasure’s report at the beginning and end of each season.  The officers of the booster clubs should communicate the plans for their activities to the Director of Athletics.  This will ensure compliance with all policies and procedures, as well as, allow the administration to respond in a knowledgeable way to questions regarding their activities.

                    Meetings scheduled by the booster clubs should be advertised in advance to insure all interested parities have the opportunity to attend.  Head coaches or their designee are encouraged to attend these meetings.
