NABCA - Club Tips

SAMPLE TIP #1

Increasing Parent Participation
The strength of any booster club is only as good as the active support from your parents so gaining their involvement is key to helping build a strong booster club.

How many of your parents actually take an active role in helping your club? Two, Five, Fifteen?
It's typical that only a handful of parents actually play an active role with a booster club, but increasing that number is something that will expand your club and its ability to better support your program. If you want to increase the level of parent participation you must include the following:

    1. A clear and constant line of communication with all parents.
    2. A clear understanding as to what is expected from each parent, and
    3. An open and friendly working atmosphere where parents can feel welcome.

For the majority we choose to get involved in activities where we feel wanted, valuable and have fun. This is no different when you are trying to gain the active participation from parents within your club.
Don't make getting involved with your club a job for the parents. Keep jobs small and rewards many. Let the parents know right from the start of the year what is expected and what is not. Give them options that they can work with and that will be rewarding for your club.

Parent participation is vital to every clubs success so take the time to build a strong campaign around increasing your parent participation.
