Chatfield Girls LacrosseBudget Introduction Annual Members’ Meeting February 17, 2015 Randy Stafford Jerrod Milton
Why the Booster Club Exists • Jeffco gives Chatfield $30,000/yr. for equipment and supplies for 47 levels of 23 sports • Chatfield allocates ~1200/yr. to girls lacrosse • New uniforms cost $7500 every three years • FSA rental for tryouts, practice costs > $2,000/yr. • Our total annual fixed expenses are > $10,000/yr. • You get the picture… • Also, the “programming”…
Booster Club Purposes • Supplement the funding provided by Jeffco Public Schools • Procure and maintain equipment used by the program • Implement “programming” to complement core in-season practice and competition activities: • Offseason leagues and clinics • Scoring, statistics, and timing for in-season games • Events and recognition: kickoff, team dinners, senior night, banquet • Website, apparel, and game video • It is NOT the booster club’s purpose or business to meddle in: • Coaching staff personnel matters • Coaching matters (team placement, playing time, game tactics, etc.) • Team chemistry matters
Financial Philosophy & Status • Fundraising approach • Summer youth clinic is our only fundraiser, raising $1,000 - $1,500 • Player dues in lieu of program-wide fundraising activities • King Soopers Neighborhood Rewards program • In comparison to other high school sports: • We’ve had positive feedback on our fundraising approach • Girls lacrosse is relatively inexpensive • Financial health has always been a strength of the program • We’ve never had to assess families due to a crisis • We have adequate reserves • Current board has better handle on budgeting than any past board
Expense Coverage • Expenses covered directly by participants: • Winter leagues and clinic • Apparel • Banquet (for families & friends) • Summer youth clinic pinnies and misc. costs • Expenses covered indirectly by player dues: • FSA rental for tryouts and inclement weather in-season • Banquet for players and coaches • Savings for uniforms • Game video • Assistant coach summer youth clinic stipend • Equipment, repair, field maintenance • Kickoff event, senior and coaches gifts • Admin: website, email, accounting software, PBUSA, postage
Budget Principles & Assumptions • Principle: strive for a slight budget surplus • Variables: number of players, weather • Assumptions important to FY2015 budget: • 45 players, for a three-team program • Four days inclement weather in-season • Split next uniform purchase (FY2017) with school 50/50 • Summer youth clinic stipend for assistant coach
Player Dues • Our expenses are mostly fixed • Only banquet, senior gifts vary with number of players • Player dues must cover expenses in two-team scenario • Player dues amount reduced to $145 this year to distinguish from Jeffco athletic fee
