Thank you for your dedication and time you provide supporting your individual
sports. Your role as a parent representative is very important in helping make
your sport’s season successful, informative and fun. Please take the time to
familiarize yourself with this handbook.
Enclosed you will find a variety of helpful information and forms that can assist
you throughout the season. Hold a parent meeting early in the season where
your roster, schedule, budget and team needs can be discussed and handed out.
You should also appoint a secretary to take notes and a treasurer to take care of
your team’s funds.
Getting other parents involved and aware of what is happening with your sport
can create a positive and fun environment for all your Bonita families.
Boosters encourages both you and your parents to attend the nine general
Booster meetings throughout the year. You will find it important in running the
successful program we all strive to have.
Together we can make a difference for all our students and staff at Bonita High
School.
On behalf of the Bonita Boosters and the BHS Athletic Directors,
Have a wonderful season and best of luck.

Booster Finances
All Booster funds are held in an account at Wells Fargo Bank. Each sport has its own subaccount that is
tracked by the Booster Treasurer. It is the responsibility of the parent rep or the team treasurer to
deposit team funds into the Booster account and to prepare and approve requisition forms.
Deposits:
Each Booster rep or team treasurer should have deposit slips and an account stamp.
All checks must be made out to Bonita Boosters, Bonita High Boosters or BHS Boosters.
Checks made out to anything else will be rejected by the bank. Please include on the memo line
the name of the sport (e.g., football, girl’s tennis, etc.).
Upon completing a deposit, the bank receipt and a completed Booster Deposit Form to the Booster
Treasurer. (see, Attachments for copy of form) The team’s individual subaccount will not be
credited with the deposit until these items are received by the Booster Treasurer. You can mail
your deposit forms to the Booster PO Box, put in the Booster Box at BHS, or deliver to the
Booster Treasurer.
Be sure to keep copies for your records.
You will be notified of any “returned checks” and you team account will be debited for the amount
of the check and any bank charges.
All deposits will be verified and posted to your team account once the Treasurer receives the above
noted items. If you make a deposit and do not supply the Treasurer with a copy, your account
WILL NOT be credited. (Deposits received by the bank without the proper paperwork to the
Booster Treasurer will be posted to the Booster’s General Fund until paperwork is received. Keep
your copies!)
Check Requests:
Make sure to complete the entire “requisition form” before submission. (see, Attachments for
copy of form)
Make sure to attach a copy of all invoices and fully describe the item or service that needs to be
paid.

ASB Finances
Besides the Booster account, every team also has an ASB account at BHS. The balance in your team’s
ASB account can be checked by contacting the BHS Finance Office. Unlike, Booster funds,
withdrawing funds from your ASB account requires prior approval by ASB before any purchases
are made! If you have the Finance Office collect funds for your banquet, the money is deposited in
your team’s ASB account. It is important to remember, funds cannot be transferred from your team’s
ASB account to your Booster account.
Prior approval of purchases:
1. Complete an ASB Requisition for Funds form before any purchases are made. (see Attachments
for copy of form) If you do not know the exact amount of the purchase, put a "Not to Exceed"
amount on the requisition.
2. Submit the Requisition for Funds to the BHS Finance Office by Monday at noon for approval on
Tuesday or by Wednesday at noon for approval on Thursday. Approvals are made during the
expenditure meeting held every Tuesday and Thursday. If you are requesting a purchase order,
they are filled out and given to the advisor within 2 days. If this is an emergency order, please
let the Finance Office know so they can process a purchase order the same day.
3. Once you receive a copy of the purchase order or approval, you can place the order or make the
purchases.
Reminders:
ASB will not pay any bills that are submitted if there is no prior approval.
Always make sure that the purchase does not exceed the amount of the purchase order or
request for funds.
Make sure that the approval date for the request for funds is before the actual purchase of
the item or date on the invoice or bill.
Documentation of purchases:
1. Upon completion of a purchase, resubmit the approved Requisition for Funds with the
appropriate documentation to the BHS Finance Office.
10
Team Fundraising
Prior to conducting a fundraiser, you must fill out a BHS Application for Fund-Raising Activity form
and submit it to the ASB Advisor. If there is a conflict with another club or team, the ASB advisor will
contact you within 3 school days. If necessary, the ASB advisor will help come up with an alternative
fundraiser or date.
1. If your fundraiser is going to be held on campus, prior to the event fill out a calendar request,
facility request and a work order.
2. If you are going to need to be reimbursed from ASB funds for items to conduct the fundraiser, be
sure to submit a request for funds prior to spending any funds. The amount does not need to be
exact; you can estimate (best to estimate high).
3. When the fundraiser is complete, you will need to finish filling out the Fund-Raising Activity
form and return it to ASB Advisor.
Team Pictures
While it is recommended that you use Barr’s Studio for team pictures since they work very closely with
the BHS Yearbook staff, it is not required. It is the Parent Reps responsibility to contact Barr’s
Studio at (626) 332-1293 or other photographer of your choice to schedule a date and time for
your team’s picture. Contact them as early as possible to ensure the best availability of dates. If you
use another photographer, please check with the BHS Yearbook staff to ensure that you provide them
the required pictures.
Have the photographer deliver the order form envelopes to the BHS office or you at least a week in
advanced. Once received it is recommended that a short flyer be attached to the order forms specifying
the date, time and location for the team pictures, as well as the team attire that should be worn. These
should be distributed to the athletes at least several days prior to the pictures. It is also advisable to send
an email to the parents letting them know when pictures will be taken.
Barr usually gives Yearbook a team picture. Also, typically, Barr provides 2- 16x20 team photos and a
stack of small team photos to use as thank you gifts.
11
Publicity - Newspapers
The Varsity head coach is responsible for seeing that scores for all levels are reported. All scores are to
be recorded in the scores notebook in the Athletic Director’s office and reported to the sport’s league
representative. Varsity scores and stats should also be reported in to local newspapers.

reported to. Please check with your coach.
Publicity – BHS
BHS Daily Bulletin: The BHS Daily Bulletin is read at Bonita and is emailed to parents daily. It is a
wonderful way to get information out to students and parents. Contact the BHS front office for details
for submitting information such as banquet ticket sales information, team picture date, team meetings,
upcoming games or fundraising events, etc.

Team Banquets
Team banquets are a great way to end a season and celebrate the accomplishments of the team. Team
banquets come in many shapes and sizes and there is no one way to do them. Some teams have formal
banquets at local country clubs or golf courses; others have casual events at the school or in the park.
The following is a checklist to help you organize your team’s banquet.
□ Select possible dates (make sure coaches are available) – scheduling of banquets must be
coordinated with the Athletic Director.
□ Check possible dates against the BHS school calendar. This can be done by contacting the Front
Office at BHS and filling out a calendar request form.
□ Contact BHS Finance Office to make arrangements for the sale of tickets.
o Bring the tickets, directions, dates and any other information the students may need to the
Finance Office at least two days prior to the sale of the tickets. Also, notify Finance
Office when ticket sales should stop.
o The Finance Office will provide a list of the students and number of tickets they
purchased the day of the banquet.
□ Submit ASB Requests for Funds if any of the banquet costs will covered from the team’s ASB
account. Remember, request must be submitted prior to signing any facility contracts or
purchasing any items. (see, ASB Finance section)
□ Reserve facility. Possible locations include The Meeting House at Hillcrest, Sierra La Verne
Golf Course, San Dimas Golf Course, Mountain Meadows Golf Course, Church of the Brethren,
Church of the Latter Day Saints, Las Flores Park, BHS Student Union.
□ If banquet is going to be on-campus, complete and submit a facilities request form and work
order (can get from front office).
□ Invite guests (e.g., Athletic Director, school administrators, favorite bus driver)
□ Send out invitation to all players and their parents
□ Hire caterer or organize potluck
□ Organize coaches gifts (e.g., framed team pictures, gift certificates)
□ Organize gifts for parent volunteers (e.g., flowers, gift certificates)
□ Organize gifts for seniors (e.g., framed pictures, Bonita blankets, memory books)
□ Make sure coach picks up certificates/letters from Athletic Director and trophies from Majestic
Awards. (see BHS Athletic Awards section below)

who could be called “the Most Valuable Support Player.” All student athletes that are selected for
recognition under the program will receive an appropriate commemorative certificate. All varsity-level
student athletes that are selected for recognition under the program will receive a special
commemorative patch. The Bearcat Awards will be presented to the winners at the respective teams
sport banquet by the affected coach.
Award Requirements:
1. Must be a student athlete member of a Bonita High School athletic team (i.e., athletic players
only).
2. Only one student athlete may be selected per sport and per level (i.e., V, JV, Frosh/Soph or

3. Bearcat Awards are coach-selected. Coaches are encouraged to select a Bearcat Award winner
for their respective teams.
4. Student athletes selected for this award must, in the coach’s opinion, have demonstrated

7. The Booster Club shall provide the Bearcat Award certificates and patches.
14
BHS Athletic Department Awards
It is important to remind the coach to provide updated rosters to the Athletic Director by the date
requested. ASB provides a budget allocation for team awards for each level (Varsity, JV, and
Frosh/Soph). Check with the Athletic Director to find out amount. It is the responsibility of the
coaches to pick the team awards. The Varsity coach must coordinate the ordering of the awards with the
Athletic Director.
Majestic Trophy does most all of BHS’s sports awards, plaques, trophies, etc. The Athletic Director will
email the names of the award winners to Majestic Trophy for the engraving, etc. It is the responsibility
of the coach to get the Athletic Director the awards roster in a timely manner before the team’s sports
banquet. The coach or a parent representative is responsible for picking up the trophies.
Majestic Trophy is located at 215 N Laurel Ave. Ontario (just west of Euclid between B and C streets).
Their phone number is (909) 986-4017 or (909) 984-5110, contact Judy Jasper.
If the coaches want to have additional awards, they may use their Booster funds for the awards. These
additional awards need to be ordered directly through Majestic Trophy and paid for before they can be
picked up.
15
Boosters Athletic Scholarship
Program Policies
Program Purpose:
The purpose of this program is to recognize the most outstanding senior varsity-level student athletes
whose performance and scholastic accomplishments have brought credit to Bonita High School and its
athletic programs. The awarding of these Booster scholarships is also designed to enhance parental
participation in the Booster program, so additional consideration will be granted to scholarship
candidates whose parents have been active Booster members, although this will not be a prerequisite for
nomination or selection. Those student athletes that are selected for recognition under the program will
receive a scholarship grant.
Minimum Eligibility Requirements:
1. Must be a graduating diploma earning senior.
2. Must have earned at least one (1) varsity athletic letter during their senior year.
3. Must have earned at least three (3) varsity athletic letters during their high school career
(acceptance of letters for transfer students will be determined by the Athletic Director).
4. Must have completed participation in four (4) athletic seasons at any level among any
combination of sports during their high school career (acceptance of participation for transfer
students will be determined by the Athletic Director).
5. Must have a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.5 (on a 5 point scale), as
determined at the end of first semester of their senior year.
6. Must be nominated and performance rated by the coach from which they earned a varsity letter
in their senior year (only one coach per sport) in the following five areas:
Sportsmanship (i.e., citizenship during competition);
Conduct (i.e., non-competition citizenship);
Attitude;
Leadership; and
Playing ability.
(Each performance category will be rated on a five-point scale [maximum number of points is
25])
7. The Athletic Director must concur in the coach’s rating of the student athlete. Further, in the
event the student athlete’s coach is unavailable to file a nomination, then the Athletic Director
may submit the nomination on behalf of the coach.
16
Nomination and Selection Procedure:
1. The submitting coach/coaches should submit their nomination form to the Athletic Director as
soon as possible after the conclusion of their student athlete’s senior year season, BUT NO
LATER THAN THE FIRST THURSDAY IN APRIL. Spring season coaches must submit
their rating sheets by the first Thursday in April.
2. As soon as possible after the submission deadline, the Athletic Director will file all nominations
received with the Boosters Club Board of Directors.
3. The Boosters Club Board of Directors will calculate each nominated student’s total score
pursuant to the formula described herein.
4. The scholastic score will be determined by multiplying the cumulative GPA (through the first
semester of their senior year) by 10.
5. The performance score will be determined by averaging the coaches’ scores (if only one coach
provides a performance rating, then use the single rating score) and multiply the result by 2.
6. The total score will be determined by adding the scholastic and performance scores together (100
points are possible).
7. The highest total scores will determine the winners. If there is a tie, the candidate with the
higher scholastic score will determine the winner. If a tie remains, then the student athlete with
the higher class ranking will be the winner.
Number and Amount of Scholarships:
The Boosters Club’s Board of Directors will annually determine the number and dollar amount of the
scholarship grants, if any. The total shall always be an even number and the number of scholarship
grants shall always be equally divided among boys and girls. In the event that there is not an even
number of qualified nominee winners, the number of decided scholarships will go to the boys or girls
qualified. The scholarship grants shall be paid out during the year-end senior awards ceremony.
17
Annual Booster Allocation Process
At the end of each school year, the Boosters Board allocates available funds to cover requests submitted
by each sport. Typically requests include additional sports equipment (e.g., balls, pitching machines,
and goals), training fees, or facility equipment (e.g., wind screens). It is up to the coaches and the parent
representatives to complete a Boosters Allocation form and submit it on a timely basis (typically the
beginning of April). The amount available each year for allocation to the sports is subject to change and
will be approved by the Booster Board. The Booster Board will review all of the submitted Allocation
Requests and allocate the available funds based upon the following factors: attendance at Booster
Meetings and Booster fundraisers (e.g., football game snack bar) by coaches and parents associated with
the particular sport, financial need of the sport, overall level of requests submitted, and special
considerations raised by the Athletic Directors. The allocations will be announced at the last Boosters
meeting of the school year. Once approved, the funds are available for the sport to use for the specific
items approved. Funds allocated through this process can only be used for the approved purchases.
When submitting the Boosters Requisition form for items approved under the annual allocation process,
please note on the Requisition form that the items purchased are covered under the approved allocation.
18
BHS Activities Information Evening
Each school year, BHS hosts an Activities Information Evening for all incoming freshman. During the
Activities Information Evening, BHS administrators and Athletic Directors review the sports program
and discuss important information. Prior to the meeting and after the meeting, all sports can host tables
to provide information about their programs including any summer programs they are running, have new
athletes sign up for the sport, and answer questions about their program. Typically, most sports have
several members of the team present and at least their Parent Representative present to answer questions.
Make the evening fun and decorate your table.
At the end of the event it is important to ensure that the Athletic Directors get copies of any signup lists.
BHS Mandatory Parent Nights & Team Meetings
