Welcome to the Daggett Gymnastics Booster Club!

 

The purpose of the Booster Club is to provide team gymnasts with an optimal training environment in which to fulfill his/her gymnastic career goals.  The club provides financial, social, and environmental support to meet the athletes’ needs.  This means we communicate directly with management (Tim Daggett) to strategically align our goals for the development and progress of our athletes and provide them with the means to meet those needs and goals.

Please note: The Booster Club DOES NOT work out issues regarding coaching, scheduling, training etc.   These concerns should be taken up directly with the coaches.

 

The Booster Club’s budget, which is funded through “commitment fees” and fundraisers, is used for coaches’ expenses in relation to meets, training, and certifications.  A separate equipment fee is used for the purchase of team-related training tools and equipment used by the team athletes to maintain safety and regulation updates.  Many fundraisers are offered to offset these costs.  Please ask the fundraiser coordinator for more information.

 

Commitment fees must be paid before an athlete is allowed to compete in any meets. These dues are related to the level in which the gymnast will participate in that upcoming season.  The first half will be due on October 15th  with the remainder due in December.  In addition, all members are required to “work” a slot at the TDNI/Girls’ Invitational at Mount Holyoke College February 8-10. (See complete schedule on “News” page.  Parents of Level 7 and above must take on an active role on either the steering committee, coordinating a fundraiser or other sub-committee.

 

For a complete guide to the Booster Club Bylaws and commitment fee list, please refer to the newly revised bylaws.  Meetings are tentatively are held monthly at 6:00 in the dance room.  Please make every effort to attend.
