What Parents Need to Know About the NDPMA Athletic Booster Club
(AKA Parent Commitment for Athletics from the Enrollment Contract)
Do you have a son or daughter that plays a sport for Notre Dame Marist or Notre Dame Prep? If so, you are a member of the NDPMA Athletic Booster Club. Click here to review the club constitution and bylaws.
Each school year, the Athletic Booster Club contributes to the athletic department. Where does this money come from? These funds are earned through concession and spirit wear sales, the golf outing and other fund raisers throughout the year. The Booster Club also help with fields, equipment, salaries for coaches - just about everything athletic. Even more importantly, the Booster Club is responsible for organizing volunteers to work all athletic events, saving the school thousands of dollars that would have to be paid to staff these events if parents didn’t help out.
As a member of the Booster Club, you are required to work athletic events during the season in which your student athlete is actively competing. Please see the specific guidelines here. There are several ways you can meet this requirement:
1. Work three events per athlete per sport. The average time investment is between 6 – 8 hours over the course of a sports season. An event can be a shift in the concession stand, or a full season commitment to an officiating job, such as such as keeping the clock/score. All events/commitments must be recorded 24 hours prior to the shift in the online signup system (VolunteerSpot).
2. Be a Team Parent Captain for a non-concession sport (NDP or ND Marist) and report the number of events worked toward each player’s booster commitment to the Booster Club Board. Due to the difference in the time commitment, this may satisfy the family obligation for the season for all athletes or just one athletes. Please check the Parent Captain job description for more details.
3. Be a Team Parent Captain for an NDP concession sports. The captain organizes volunteers for each event, functionsas the on-site manager of the volunteers, records/deposits any cash from concession stand sales, and reports the number of events for each player’s booster commitment. In exchange for this, a family’s commitment for all athletes for all seasons is met.
If you prefer to not work events and let the Boosters Club know at the beginning of the sports season, your account will be charged $50 per event at the end of each season. If you don’t work your required events and don’t notify the boosters, the fee will be $75 per event.
How do you sign up?
If you are willing to be a team captain, please let the coach and the Booster Club know (VP of NDP Kim Huttenlocher or VP of ND Marist Tom Moncrief). To sign up to work an event, review the athletic calendar and sign up in VolunteerSpot for the event. In many cases, the jobs that need to be done will not allow you to watch your student compete. However, you do not have to work the same sport in which your student-athlete competes. You may sign up for any available spot that you are comfortable working. These events are great ways to meet other NDPMA families.
If you would like to serve your families' obligation in a different manner, please use the Booster Club Special Service Form. Note that all requests, including videotaping, must be pre-approved by teh coach and the form must be pre-approved by the Booster Board at a regular meeting.
If your family is experiencing a hardship that prevents the family (students may not work for families' Booster Club credit unless they are 16 years of age), please use the Booster Club Special Service Form and your hardship will be reviewed in a closed Booster Board session.
