The backbone of a youth sports program rests within thevolunteers who give their time in the interest of youth. Fromthe volunteer coach to the concession stand manager, parentinvolvement is a vital part of the entire program.

The task for the recreation professional is in theeffective and efficient management of this volunteer workforce.To this end, the establishment of a youth sports boostersorganization can be significant.

Briefly stated, booster clubs are made up of parents anuinterested adults, for the purpose of proviaing organizational,promotional, and financial support of youth athletics.Advantages of booster clubs include:

o Provides opportunity for involvement of entire family ina recreation'experience.

o Provides additional and varied volunteer experiences,e.g. club officers, committee work, etc.

o Parental support of other youth programs.
