Select a youth sport or high school of your choice to examine/study. Check the Internet and browse the youth sport’s/school’s website. Most public or parochial/private schools have a website, and in many instances the athletics department’s website/web page is separate from the institution’s so you may need to browse a separate link to view it. Answer the following questions:
Does the youth sport/high school athletics department have its booster club information posted or is there a link to the booster club’s website?
If so, does the booster club provide any detailed information if they are a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit organization? If not, does the booster club provide any detailed information on membership (e.g., benefits chart that includes items like free tickets, free swag); the fundraising activities they are promoting or perhaps a detailed list of their corporate partners?
Based on the information you gathered, reflect and answer the following question in a full paragraph:
What were the relative strengths and weaknesses of the youth sport’s/high school athletics booster club’s website? If you were to change/modify it, identify and explain why you would change and/or modify the areas you chose. If there wasn’t one; identify and explain the areas you would consider incorporating if there was one.
