This list is NOT all inclusive.

Many schools require large financial player contributions to participate on teams or to provide needs to the program, but VHS Boosters and your Coaching Staff do everything they can to eliminate that burden so every child can participate. Currently we have 100 families represented in our Football Program with only 15 families actively participating. All of these jobs are being taken on with very little support. WE CAN DO BETTER!! "Many hands make light work," as they say. Your time and talent are a contribution you can make to our program for the sake of each of our sons and to the benefit to the legacy and strength of the program as a whole.

Please come out and join us tomorrow night August 21st at 7 pm in Coach Gray's Classroom 804 to find out how you can help with #TigerPride and your #TigerSupport
