AIA Power ranks link will be added and we are also working on stream lining our Varsity games from press box to website. Also Facebook and Twitter accts. will be added soon.
Sponsors:
It’s time to go out and start gathering Sponsors for the upcoming season. The Sponsor prices will be the same as last year, so if we get them now, they will get ½ year of advertising for free, great for them and their business.
The majority of our booster money comes from sponsors….the only way we are able to get sponsors is with the help of parents hitting the pavement and asking local business owners to donate to our wonderful program. The football club does not charge families to participate in the booster club, participate in spring ball, or summer competitions. Please help our team by asking local business owners to sponsor our club. We will be emailing a sponsor packet in the month of March so parents can print off and take with them.
Thank You!!
We have to send out a Hugh Thank You to Keller Williams Realtors for their generous Donation of water. We will have water donated for the whole football season. And also a great big Thank you to the Ortega Family for his employer’s company donation of $500.00.
Coach Campbell’s update:
Coach would like Families to pay their athletic fees through Tax credit. The monies can be used to pay the coaches that don’t get paid from the district. We have 27 Coaches on staff and only 8 get paid. It would be wonderful if we can give the rest something to thank them for all their time and dedication they bring to our boys and our program.
