Bellaire Volleyball Booster Club

The Bellaire Volleyball Booster Club is a non-profit, parent-run organization, whose mission is to support the student volleyball program and raise funds to supplement limited HISD funding.

All funds raised go directly to the volleyball program, including purchase of equipment & uniforms, paying for transportation to away matches, and securing the services of match officials.  Additionally, we use funds to celebrate the season’s achievements at an end of year player banquet.

Fundraising

Fundraising activities can change each year, but often include;

Booster Club Annual Fees, due at the beginning of each season, one fee per player.

Fundraising telethon, which takes place for one day early in the season, where players seek support from friends and family.

Ticket and concession sales at home games.

We need support from Parents

We could not support our team without active participation from parents & guardians in Booster Club activities.  Committee positions are available each year.  Additionally, all parents & guardians of players are asked to volunteer in activities, such as manning the concession stand at home games, selling home game admission tickets at the door, capturing photos from games, and setup for the end of season player banquet.
