The $50 Booster Program Support Fee is separate from the $300 Track & Field Registration Fee through the Lakeville School District. The annual fee is per athlete, although families with multiple Track & Field athletes may choose to support one $50 Booster Program Support Fee per family, and that's just fine.
Track & Field is a no-cut sport and we estimate having over 180 athletes this year. The reality is that the District funds 12 coaches, and given 12 track events + 6 field events + 2 teams (boys and girls) + up to 4 events per athlete, we need more coaches to help our athletes reach their full potential. The Booster Program Support Fee payments will be pooled with funds raised through various Booster fundraisers, to help bridge the gap between what the district covers and what we need to effectively support our Track & Field program. This includes: coaches stipends for additional coaches and training for all coaches, equipment/supplies, fund meet timing costs for Varsity and JV events and other miscellaneous expenses.
Your support is needed and very much appreciated!
