Boosters

Bloomington Nordic Booster Club

The purpose of the Booster Club: 

1. To provide the team with resources beyond what is funded by our school system. 

2. To provide adult support to the activities and special events that help to raise funds and enhance team spirit. 

Families of all Nordic skiers are encouraged to join the Booster Club. The Booster Club leadership is provided through the President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer, and the coaches.  

If you would like to participate as an active member of the booster club, have a potential fundraising idea, or would simply like to learn about the booster club activities, please contact one of the people listed on the Board Member List on our Contact page.

Booster Club Fees:

Booster Club finances are raised through family dues and fundraisers.  Our booster expenditures include bus expenses (the school district covers only a portion of the bus costs), coach honorarium to supplement the modest amounts provided by the school district, supplement trip expenses, race suits and jackets, wax benches, team tent, and meet entry fees. A portion of each skier's booster fee covers their banquet ticket and a team t-shirt. 

• New or Existing members fee $130

• Each additional Student fee $100

Special Events and Activities: 

The Booster Club is responsible for helping coordinate the following activities and events:

• Kick-off Meeting
  All team members and parents are expected to attend this informational meeting in October.

• Optional Training Weekend Trip
  All team members are invited to participate in a weekend-long training event at a Resort in the Midwest. Locations have included Maplelag in Minnesota and Heartwood in Wisconsin.  Parents are welcome but not required to attend.  Skiers stay in cabins with their teammates and are chaperoned by coaches and booster parents.  Details are published each year for the specifics of the event. 

• Cub Foods Fundraiser
  We will bag groceries at Cub Foods on Lyndale.  All tips we earn will go to the booster club.  We need parents and skiers to volunteer.  

• Awards Banquet Post Season
  This end-of-the-season dinner banquet is for skiers and their families.  Coaches recognize the accomplishments of each skier and awards are given.
