Inspiring Excellence and Character in a Nurturing Environment!

The “Booster Club“ of Albemarle School is a hard-working group of individuals who provide financial support for our athletic teams and sports facilities. They sponsor events to raise money to supplement our athletic program. These are the individuals who man the admission gates at our sporting events, operate concession stands, provide transportation when the school activity bus is unavailable. These individuals are also responsible for maintaining fields and courts as well as investing in improvements and equipment.  There are also responsibilities which include assisting with fundraising, and helping to find “Buck Shot” sponsors and “Cake Raffle” donors for home basketball games. 

Volunteers are always welcome to become a part of the Boosters Club and to pitch in and help our sports programs.

Volunteer 

If you are in need of PPP hours please sign up to help work at one of the upcoming home basketball games. Everyone is able to help, even if your child is not yet involved in the athletics program. All parents and/or guardians of student-athletes are required to serve at least two hours per sport. There are several opportunities to do this during game times, including admission, grilling, concessions and clean up. This will help spread the overall burden amongst all parents of athletes throughout the season.
