Booster Membership  

In order to maintain our quality/competitive athletic program here at Alameda High, we need the parents of ALL ATHLETES to sign-up for membership in the Alameda High School Athletic Supporters (aka, The Hornet Boosters). 

We need a Membership registration for each Hornet athlete in you family**, however, each Membership does apply towards multiple sports so, for example:

If you have a daughter on the water polo team and swim team and a son running cross country and track, that’s just a $40 Booster Membership contribution for the entire year!

When you sign up, your card will be mailed to you along with a schedule of upcoming sports events.

Available Booster Membership Levels:

• MINIMUM Per/Athlete Booster Registration = $25 **
  1 Booster card (good for $1 off all home football and basketball games)
• Gold Membership = $50
  2 cards (good for half-off all home football and basketball games)
• Diamond Membership = $100
  2 cards (good for free admission all home games!)

What We Do...               (Join Now)

In these times of wholesale budget cuts, many schools are reducing the number of teams they field or are cutting sports programs entirely.  As an exception to the rule, Alameda High has not wavered in its support of its extracurricular programs (drama, music, art, etc.)... including sports.  Through the school Administration's foresight, careful budgeting and the assistance of the Hornet Boosters, Alameda High has been able to sustain a complete and competitive athletic program.

The budget crisis is not over, however, and continued careful planning and community support are needed if we are to keep our sports programs going strong.

The Hornet Booster Club's primary purpose is to coordinate fundraising efforts to support AHS athletic programs.  The bulk of our monies are raised in the form of snack bar sales (at football and basketball games) and Booster Membership fees.

A common misconception is that the money made at football games goes to the football program and monies made at the basketball games goes to basketball.  That's not true.  ALL monies collected by the Boosters through fees and snack bar sales goes into a general fund to support ALL AHS sports.  When a team needs something, coaches simply need to submit a request to the Boosters and the Board reviews and processes the request.  The Boosters have supported Hornet teams with such items as:

• Cross Country & Track: starter pistol, discus ring, long jump pit,
  team banner

• Badminton: shuttlecocks,  netting

• Water Polo: balls,  safety caps, ball cart

• Swimming:  swim caps

• Women's Soccer:  uniforms, balls, bags

• Men's Soccer:  practice Goals

• Volleyball:  balls, uniforms

• Softball:  batting helmets, bats, pitching machine, balls, sliding mat

• Women's Basketball:  uniforms

• Baseball:  uniforms

• Football: equipment,  game support personnel

In addition, the Boosters regularly fund a lot of "general school improvements" that benefit multiple sports and often AHS PE programs as well; things like:

ITEMS IN RED each cost many thousands of Dollars
and often many hours of VOLUNTEER time
