Welcome to Atholton High School’s Sports Boosters! As with all of our Booster programs, our goal is to provide financial and managerial support to our athletic organizations, continuing a proud reputation as one of Howard County’s premier high school sports competitors. Our success greatly depends on parent and community participation, both on and off the fields.   

Fundraising is Fundamental  -  The AHS Sports Boosters hold various fundraising activities throughout the school year, including a tailgate lunch held on Homecoming in October, a holiday tree sale in December, and a fun-filled Bull Roast and Casino night for adults in the spring. Ongoing sales of spirit wear, food concessions, and admission to evening games also boost our revenue. Our most sizeable return, next to the Bull Roast, comes from membership. The money raised through individual, family, and corporate memberships goes toward the subsequent year’s budget, and allows us to supplement county school board allotments to purchase new uniforms and state-of-the-art equipment, maintain and upgrade our fields and gymnasiums, and provide added player and spectator amenities. Each Booster member receives a t-shirt and, depending on the level of giving, additional Spirit Wear items and special recognition. Please encourage your team’s parents to join! 

Volunteering is Vital - Our Sports Booster Program is just a name without the help of countless dedicated parents, administrators, teachers, coaches, and friends to organize and implement our fundraising activities and other events. We hold monthly meetings (every 2^nd Monday @ 7:00 p.m.) to keep our members updated on sports activities and plan for upcoming events. Anyone is welcome to attend. In addition to Booster officers and committee chairs, one or two parent liaisons represent each team at these meetings, and may address pertinent issues and concerns at this time. Please encourage your parents to volunteer in some capacity. 

What else does a parent liaison do? Parent liaisons are volunteers, whose sons or daughters may or may not be captains of the team. Besides regularly attending Sports Boosters meetings and reporting any important information to Booster officers, parent liaisons may also help with the following: 

• Assist coach in communicating with parents via phone calls or e-mails

• Inform team parents and coach about important Booster events or information

• Assist coach with team fundraising efforts

• Encourage Booster membership from team parents

• Help coordinate concessions volunteers

• Assemble and distribute team roster and information sheets

• Report team standings and highlights to Booster Website Coordinator

• Plan the team’s Sports Banquet menu

• Collect for a coach’s gift
