BOOSTER FUNDING

Booster funding helps to defray team expenses not covered by the High School. There are a few different fundraising activities throughout the season, including Hingham Youth Soccer field striping, a car wash, and a bottle/can drive. However, Booster dues are the primary source of funds for the program, and support players in many ways, including the following.

Practice shirts and other supplemental uniform needs
Jamboree costs, including referee fees and lunch for all players and families
Digital photography costs, including in-game, team and individual photos for all players
Year-end program book (supplementing business and player advertisements at an additional cost)
Some/all year-end program banquet costs
Year-end player and coaches gifts
Other miscellaneous program and equipment needs

While booster dues are not required, we strongly encourage each family to support the Boosters by making an annual contribution.

We request that all families Submit a Player & Family Contact Information Form, so we have contact information for all players and parents and can compile accurate team rosters and keep all family members informed with timely program announcements and volunteer opportunities.
