MOnthly Sports Boosters Meetings
The Byron Center Sports Boosters Executive Board meets on the first Wednesday of every month of the school year (August - May) at 6:00 PM. This is followed by the Byron Center Sports Boosters General Meeting starting at 7:00 pm. If the first Wednesday of the month is a holiday, the meeting is moved to the following Wednesday, unless otherwise posted.
Meetings are held at the high school athletic “Team Room” unless otherwise posted.
Meeting agendas, the Treasurer’s Report and “future agenda topic form” are distributed at the beginning of each meeting. Past meeting agendas and minutes are available upon request.
Anyone who is a resident of the Byron Center Public School District may attend meetings and be involved. Parents of athletes are encouraged to attend. There is no membership fee to belong to the Sports Boosters, just your regular attendance to meetings and your commitment to serving the needs of our athletic programs.
Members are nominated for officer positions during the April meeting. Elections are held during the May meeting. Anyone wishing to be nominated for a Board position must attend at least three meetings during the school year.

The Byron Center Sports Boosters operates as a non-profit organization. Donations that require a 501C3 status can be made.
Team REpresentative
Each team has a representative who attends the General Boosters Meetings. The decision as to who the Team Representative will be is determined by the Coach and Athletic Director. There is one representative from each team; however, if the sport has a large team, it is the decision of the Athletic Director and Coach to elect more than one representative. Parent(s) of student-athlete for each sport will have the first opportunity to volunteer as the Team Representative.
The Team Representative shall:
Disseminate information from the General Boosters Meeting to the team coach and parents.
