ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT
2026-27 Booster Club Open Roles
Dear Ponte Vedra, High School Community:
They say it takes a village to raise an athlete, but it takes a dedicated team to keep that village running.
As we look toward the upcoming season, Ponte Vedra High School Athletic Booster Club is seeking two leaders to join our team: President and Membership Manager.
Our student athletes give their all on the field, court, pool, and track. We are looking for individuals who are equally enthusiastic about providing them with the equipment, facilities, and funds they need to succeed.
Open Leadership Roles
- Booster Club President
The “Leader” of our organization. You are not expected to do it all, but you are the one who orchestrates the process.
- Mission: Preside over monthly meetings, function as the primary liaison with the Athletic Director, and provide management over booster club activities.
- Ideal For: Someone with strong leadership skills, a knack for delegation, and a passion for the big-picture success of our athletic programs.
- Membership Manager
The “Coordinator.” You are the face of the boosters for new and returning families.
- The Mission: Manage the annual membership drive, maintain the member database, and find creative ways to increase parent and community engagement.
- Ideal For: A “people person” who is organized, tech-savvy (for database management), and loves building community spirit.
Why Step Up?
Aside from the eternal gratitude of the coaching staff and the athletic department, you
will receive the satisfaction of seeing our programs thrive, and you’ll get:
- Direct Impact: Your decisions directly fund uniforms, safety equipment, and facility improvements.
- Community Connection: You will work closely with the athletic department and meet other dedicated parents.
- A Seat at the Table: You help shape the culture of Ponte Vedra High School athletics.
Interested in Joining the Team?
We would love to chat with you about what these roles entail—no high-pressure sales
pitch, just a transparent look at how you can help.
Please reach out to Sheila Rice at [email protected] ASAP to express
interest or ask questions.
Thank you for your continued support of Ponte Vedra High School Athletics. Let’s make
this next season the best one yet!
Best regards,
Sheila Rice
President Ponte Vedra High School Athletic Booster Club
