The Booster Club is a fund raising and activity organizing body for Don Bosco Central Catholic High School, subject to the policies and regulations that proceed from the Archdiocesan Board of Education, the Archdiocesan Office of Education, and the Don Bosco Central Catholic High School Board of Education. The club provides financial assistance to the athletic and extra-curricular activity programs for Don Bosco Central Catholic High School, including: Softball, Baseball, Volleyball, Wrestling, Girl's and Boy's Basketball, Girl's and Boy's Golf, Cheerleading, Music, Speech, and Drama. The Booster Club also supports the Football program, although the Football program financially stands on its own at this time. The Booster Club promotes high standards of sportsmanship and equal opportunity to all students to participate in athletic and extra-curricular activities. The club consists of 6 committees: Concessions, Merchandise, Fund Raising, Finance, Advertising, and Pep Club. The club is responsible for long term planning, goal setting, and implementation of programs and policies to ensure that coaches and students that participate in extra-curricular activities have appropriate funding to allow them to compete and participate at a competitive level. Without the efforts of the Booster Club, many of the "wants and needs" for these programs would not be available. Our goal is to support these programs and generate funds necessary to continue to ensure that our coaches and students can participate and compete at a competitive level. Our Booster Club president for 2007-2008 is Trina Becker. For more information go to www.boscosystem.net . Booster Club Requests Do you need the Booster Club to help you out with something?

The Bosco System has partnered with The Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) Partners Program. The purpose of the Positive Coaching Alliance is to provide live, research-based training workshops and practical tools for coaches, parents, and leaders who operate youth sports programs. PCA believes that winning is a goal in youth sports but that there is also a second, equally important goal of using sports to teach life lessons through positive coaching. PCA provides the framework to get every coach, parent, and fan 'on the same page' about what it means to Honor the Game and to ensure every student has a positive, educational experience. For more information on PCA, visit their website at www.positivecoach.org . Coaches, teachers, extra-curricular activity directors, parents and other students are all "coaches". We all need to remember the three principles of Positive Coaching: 1. Honoring the Game Honoring the Game gets to the ROOTS of positive play. Rules we refuse to bend the rules to win Opponents a worthy opponent is a gift that brings out our best Officials show respect even when we disagree Teammates never do anything to embarrass our team Self we live up to our own standards even when others don't 2. Redefining Winner A Positive Coach helps players redefine what it means to be a "winner" by emphasizing the ELM Tree of Mastery where ELM stands for Effort, Learning and bouncing back from Mistakes. 3. Filling Emotional Tanks A Positive Coach fills players "emotional tanks" with encouragement and praise, recognizing that players need full tanks to play their best. A Positive Coach strives to achieve the 5:1 "magic ratio" 5 praises for every 1 criticism. |
