MatthewRPark Apr 19 @ 8:12 PM EDT

SRainge Apr 19 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A1: FUNdraising, supply/set up meals, plan/organize end-of-year banquet, organize volunteers for various task i.e concessions #GAHSFBCHAT

rmacblue Apr 19 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@_Coach_O @_CoachTSmith We are quite fortunate here - no need for one - great admin support and community loves athletics. #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Apr 19 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Q2: How do you convey to Club officers & members that their involvement does not influence the playing time of their child? #GAHSFBCHAT

MatthewRPark Apr 19 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Cont. A1. Our Booster club is composed of many people with a wide variety of experience in many field. Outside minds are great #GAHSFBCHAT

AHSCoachSoria Apr 19 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A1 cont: A good part of them are members of local youth football teams. They love where we're headed and asked for involvement. #GAHSFBCHAT

J_E_Rogers Apr 19 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A1: Honored to have the best booster club around. Do a great job for our program. #GAHSFBCHAT

KoachRich9 Apr 19 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Precedent has to be set early. Not the HC but I've seen problems arise when boundaries are set early #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/siYSLEup7b

_CoachTSmith Apr 19 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Q2: How do you convey to Club officers & members that their involvement does not influence the playing time of their child? #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachJesseLynch Apr 19 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: I don't handle that personally, but best player plays here. Period. #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachTWill22 Apr 19 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: actions speak louder than words. HC sets the standard. #GAHSFBCHAT

shacknado Apr 19 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A1: TD Club has been a huge supporter for us. Came thru big last yr when we needed to raise funds for opening wk trip to NJ. #GAHSFBCHAT

_Coach_O Apr 19 @ 8:20 PM EDT

HC does GREAT job of making that clear at meeting.Playing time as isn't really discussed n the program. #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/ihedjJt5gJ

_CoachTSmith Apr 19 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Q2: How do you convey to Club officers & members that their involvement does not influence the playing time of their child? #GAHSFBCHAT

MatthewRPark Apr 19 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A2. That has to be clear before they are officers. Film, practice, weighty room usually tells you who needs to be on the field. #GAHSFBCHAT

ColbryL Apr 19 @ 8:21 PM EDT

Colbry Lathan RB / LB coach Okolona High School Okolona, MS #GAHSFBCHAT

Great to see #gahsfbchat continuing to expand across the globe

Jccoach11 Apr 19 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2: best player plays, that discussion can be conveyed by HC. HC is part of the Booster Board #GAHSFBCHAT

youcandomore1 Apr 19 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2) We convey to parents at separate mtg. that playing time is based on these 5 things and nothing else..https://t.co/xikU6I399p #GAHSFBCHAT

shacknado Apr 19 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2: I'm not HC, but I haven't heard of this being an issue in our program over the years. No big controversies with it anyway. #GAHSFBCHAT

F_Wilczynski5 Apr 19 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2) That's something that I will address at first meeting, parent involvement has no correlation to playing time for their son #GAHSFBCHAT

ocoordinator Apr 19 @ 8:24 PM EDT

The expectations need to be set prior to them being a part of the club/boosters. they're there to help promote #GAHSFBCHAT

SRainge Apr 19 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A2: That is a leading conversation with them during the first Booster Club meeting. It is made crystal clear. #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Apr 19 @ 8:25 PM EDT

Great dialogue going coaches...Q3 in 2 minutes #GAHSFBCHAT

chrisbmills Apr 19 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@_CoachTSmith our varsity players have a financial commitment of $500, freshman $350. Give multiple ways to meet that amount #GAHSFBCHAT

youcandomore1 Apr 19 @ 8:25 PM EDT

F_Wilczynski5 Apr 19 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2) That's something that I will address at first meeting, parent involvement has no correlation to playing time for their son #GAHSFBCHAT

Ian Gardner OC Desert Edge HS Goodyear Az #GAHSFBCHAT

agilitychutes Apr 19 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A1. No booster.trying to get 1 started. Program has been burnt in the past by it so they are hesitant. #GAHSFBCHAT

coach_andyscott Apr 19 @ 8:25 PM EDT

#GAHSFBCHAT You have to be honest, the best players have to play or you lose your credibility https://t.co/QxwOzeMXd5

_CoachTSmith Apr 19 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Q2: How do you convey to Club officers & members that their involvement does not influence the playing time of their child? #GAHSFBCHAT

igardner33 Apr 19 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A2- parent meeting beginning of season in August this is addressed we have a pretty good detailed power point we cover #GAHSFBCHAT

_Coach_O Apr 19 @ 8:26 PM EDT

What does this cover? #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/1XjcEJhtLm

chrisbmills Apr 19 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@_CoachTSmith our varsity players have a financial commitment of $500, freshman $350. Give multiple ways to meet that amount #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Apr 19 @ 8:27 PM EDT

Q3: What type of promotions do you use to boost game attendance? #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Apr 19 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@_Coach_O was about to ask that. #GAHSFBCHAT

rmacblue Apr 19 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3: Only need one thing: WINS #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Apr 19 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@agilitychutes been there too. #GAHSFBCHAT

_coachgibbslv Apr 19 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A2: #GAHSFBCHAT I'll cross that bridge if it comes up. Tuff time trying to convince some parents HS FB is not an Xtra curricular activity

AHSCoachSoria Apr 19 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A2: Surprisingly, not many parents are officers. Because of that it's fairly easy for us. #GAHSFBCHAT

shacknado Apr 19 @ 8:29 PM EDT

Strong club leader, often a bulldog fball mom, can move mountains, makes a huge difference. We've had some greats over the yrs. #GAHSFBCHAT

agilitychutes Apr 19 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A3. We have used radfles and present to win. Season tickets not only for football, but for the entire year. Discount $ #GAHSFBCHAT

BCain76 Apr 19 @ 8:29 PM EDT

I'd have to agree that this is the best promotion for sure. #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/ILu0G3t4aP

rmacblue Apr 19 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3: Only need one thing: WINS #GAHSFBCHAT

Jccoach11 Apr 19 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A3: youth night, cluster night, tailgate , neon night, white out, food trucks, #GAHSFBCHAT

youcandomore1 Apr 19 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A3) Many of the best ideas recently have been kid driven... ideas they have come up with... having "themed" games... #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachJesseLynch Apr 19 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A3: I'm not aware of what we do with that, but Fitzgerald is one of those towns that shuts down everything on Friday nights! #GAHSFBCHAT

MatthewRPark Apr 19 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A3. Military Night, MS Night, REC Night. Booster club also raffles off really nice prizes. #GAHSFBCHAT

J_E_Rogers Apr 19 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A2: Our boosters are more worried about getting us things we need and raising money. #gahsfbchat

AHSCoachSoria Apr 19 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A3: We had a Black Out, along with Senior Night and HC. We had PVAMU Band perform at a game, which brought A LOT of people out. #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachTWill22 Apr 19 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A3: youth night, MS night, etc. Usual stuff. Student section has themes and it gets fun. But wins draw crowds. #GAHSFBCHAT

_Coach_O Apr 19 @ 8:31 PM EDT

Neon Night? #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/8beGsHTW0O

Jccoach11 Apr 19 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A3: youth night, cluster night, tailgate , neon night, white out, food trucks, #GAHSFBCHAT

youcandomore1 Apr 19 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A3) cont.. kids come up with a "theme" for each game... i.e... pink out... #GAHSFBCHAT

BCain76 Apr 19 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A3: our best attended games every year are homecoming and senior night. #gahsfbchat

ColbryL Apr 19 @ 8:31 PM EDT

Our booster club has been great with our decisions about playing time. They leave the decision making to the coaches. #GAHSFBCHAT

ocoordinator Apr 19 @ 8:31 PM EDT

To me if it's athlete driven, I believe they have more invested in the game. #GAHSFBCHAT

J_E_Rogers Apr 19 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A3: Win and they will come. Students have themes every game. #gahsfbchat

CoachLashSr Apr 19 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A3: does any schools consistently offer student specials to keep school spirit active?? #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachLaws00 Apr 19 @ 8:32 PM EDT

Jarrett Laws, Football Enthusiast, Inquisitive Lifelong Leaner #GAHSFBCHAT

_Coach_O Apr 19 @ 8:33 PM EDT

College Band perform, that's a good idea! #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/5YUDY4l0dW

AHSCoachSoria Apr 19 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A3: We had a Black Out, along with Senior Night and HC. We had PVAMU Band perform at a game, which brought A LOT of people out. #GAHSFBCHAT

AHSCoachSoria Apr 19 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A3 cont: We had a youth football night, too, that brought out roughly 200 area youth players. Wins would help w/ attendance, too #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Apr 19 @ 8:33 PM EDT

F_Wilczynski5 Apr 19 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A3) Youth night, Alumni night, Orange Out (same thing as white out) #GAHSFBCHAT

Jccoach11 Apr 19 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@_Coach_O Student section wears neon paints themselves up, have some kind of neon dust they throw in air who knows students do #GAHSFBCHAT

igardner33 Apr 19 @ 8:34 PM EDT

A3- winning helps! But each game there's a theme Homecoming Senior night Youth Night Sponsor Night #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachJohnson50 Apr 19 @ 8:34 PM EDT

A3: Nick Johnson -Parkview late to the party. The best boost in attendance is winning football games plain and simple. #GAHSFBCHAT

@_Coach_O Student section wears neon paints themselves up, have some kind of neon dust they throw in air who knows students do #GAHSFBCHAT

igardner33 Apr 19 @ 8:35 PM EDT

_CoachTSmith Apr 19 @ 8:37 PM EDT

Q4: How many fundraisers do you usually have each year? Name your 2 best. (Money & Participation) #GAHSFBCHAT

shacknado Apr 19 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A5: None as of now. I'd love to get some ideas from you guys. Then I'd have to see if we're actually allowed to do them. #GAHSFBCHAT

Jccoach11 Apr 19 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A5: Food trucks are about the closest thing. Flat fee or a percentage of sales is about it #GAHSFBCHAT

ocoordinator Apr 19 @ 8:50 PM EDT

Besides 50/50 at half time.. Nope #GAHSFBCHAT

_Coach_O Apr 19 @ 8:50 PM EDT

CoachTWill22 Apr 19 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A5. Very fortunate to have video board that flashes our program supporters. Announcer makes it a point to give shout out also. #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachLashSr Apr 19 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A4: one of the biggest money raisers is the partnership with Panther/Hornets. Kids can work booth with adult or coach. #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachLaws00 Apr 19 @ 8:56 PM EDT

Also (putting on my former AD hat), off-subject, but fundraisers must match needs. If sideline monitors cost $4500, then...#GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Apr 19 @ 8:56 PM EDT
