Booster Membership  

In order to maintain our quality/competitive athletic programs here at Alameda High, we need parents of all athletes to become members of the Boosters. 

One membership is good for an entire family of athletes (i.e., if you have multiple athletes participating at Alameda High, your single family membership covers all of them; you only need to buy one membership). 

However, membership upgrades with substantial benefits are also available (see below). 

Note: When you sign up, your name is entered on our Membership list which is updated regularly and used to check in members at all qualifying sports events.

Booster Raffle Program          

In addition to Hornet Booster Memberships, the Boosters also coordinate a fundraising raffle involving all Hornet teams and athletes.

Each Hornet athlete is required to sell $50 worth of raffle tickets for each sport in which they participate (maximum of two sports).

The raffle has 4 drawings spread throughout the year, with 8 chances to win (four $500 winners and four $250 winners). The earlier participants enter, the more chances they have to win.

Athletes can pick up their raffle tickets from their coaches.

All proceeds go towards Alameda High athletic programs.

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.  

Last year alone, the Boosters provided funding for:

• Coaches Certifications

• Women's Water Polo Equipment

• Hornet Mascot Costume

• Women's Golf - NCS Championship Patches

• Women's Golf - Expenses for trip to State Tournament

• Volleyball - Jackets w/embroidery

• Weight Room Equipment/Supplies

• Athletic Dept. Assistants Subsidy

• Softball - Mat for Batting Cage

• Baseball - Lincoln Park Storage Shed

• Badminton - Transportation Expenses

• Soccer - Goal Frame

• Golf - NCS Championship Patches

• New Flag Pole - Thompson Field

• Track - Transportation Expenses

• New Flag Pole - Thompson Field

• Badminton - Transportation Expenses

• Gas for AHS Team Vehicles

Prior to that, the Boosters have supported Hornet teams with such items as:

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

• Women's Golf:  paid for trip to NCS, NorCal and State championship

• 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, nets

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

• Women's Basketball:  uniforms

• Men's Basketball:  paid for trip to San Diego

• Baseball:  cost of umpires JV and Var

• Football: equipment,  game support personnel

• Cheerleaders: sweaters
  

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 
(with parents, coaches, athletes, and teachers all contributing)

• New Gym:

  • Interior painting

  • Ice machine

  • Wall padding

  • Scoreboard

  • Bleacher repairs

  • New volleyball standards and nets

  • Scorers table

  • Repaired restrooms

  • Snack bar improvements (including building repairs, rewiring as well as new hot dog steamer, cart, BBQ, coolers & crock pots)

  • New scoreboard

  • Purchased 2 storage containers for football & track

  • Purchased new tarps for fences 

  • Re-built the roof on the scorer's booth

  • Painted snack bar and scorer's booth

  • Painted goal posts

  • Re-wired electricity at snack bar

  • Cost of re-conditioning equipment

• Tennis Court: 

  • Resurfacing Donation

  • Wind screens

  • Surface cleaning

• Soccer Field:
