How does the Club decide which sports receive this “additional” funding?
All student/athletes, regardless of sport, are a factor in calculating the annual funding. Once the projected total number of athletes for a given year is determined, a “per/athlete” dollar figure is determined. This total sum of monies is then donated to the Athletic Department in installments throughout the year. For example: In 2008-2009, there were 705 student/athletes who participated in LLSD high school sports. It was decided by a vote of the club that $40 per athlete would be donated to the Athletic department budget, for a total of $28,200. Each sport is then allotted a portion of the Booster donation based on the number of participants. Note: If an athlete participates in two sports for instance, they are counted twice.
