Success depends on commitment by every active Booster Member… BASICALLY - EVERY PARENT IS A BOOSTER

MEMBER!

Experience for Your Sons–Coaching Baron Football Attractive to High

Quality Coaches–Attending Baron Football Games a Fabulous

Activity for Fountain Valley Students, Staff, Fans and our Community

... All the while having FUN ourselves…


Football is a Team SportBaron Football is more than a chance for young men to play a game… Our players earn the opportunity to– Compete in the Sunset League, the Southwest Division’s

most competitive conference by far. – Contribute to a team, and build the life long skills of

dedication to team, self-discipline and leadership– Understand and practice commitment to team, school and

Player CommitmentsSummer Football - Coaching Expense

There is a cost of $150 per player for the summer program paid to the school. Fountain Valley High School – Clearance Expense:

Clearance for football players approx $100 on top of other school expenses• Approx $100 + ASB• At clearance, the high school wants to collect the cost of transportation and trainers for

the football players which in the past has been about $90. The school may require the Booster organization to pay the transportation/trainer part of this expense in the future.

• At the same time, the high school has an ASB fee that covers the students ASB card, yearbook, and other school items. ALL STUDENTS PAY THIS FEE. This fee depends on what type of ASB card and if you want a yearbook. Purchasing these items together is a better deal than paying separately.

• The total cost for an ASB card, yearbook, and the transportation/trainer for Football has been about $190.
