St Paul Central Sports Boosters

Give to Central High School Athletics & support ALL our student athletes!  

Central Athletics supports 36 Minnesota State High School League sports, with 1,400 student-athletes participating last year. This fall, we added an extra girls volleyball team and a boys soccer team—giving 17 more girls and 30 more boys the chance to compete.  The school district will pay for a limited number of coaches, but in order to serve most of the students who want to participate in sports the Central Sports Booster Club needs to fundraise to cover the cost of 22 additional coaches for our student athletes.  

If each athlete raised just $36.25, it would fully fund our additional coaches’ salaries for the year. Some can give that amount, many more can give what they’re able, and every gift counts.

This year, our fundraising focus is on one critical need: hiring enough coaches. With more and more students eager to participate in sports, our district budget simply cannot cover the number of coaches required to support them all. Your gift will directly ensure that every student who wants to play has the opportunity to do so. $50,730 is the total we need to pay for 22 extra coaches.  

Sports currently benefiting from additional coaching support include:

• Boys Soccer

• Football

• Girls Volleyball

• Girls Swim & Dive

• Cheerleading

• Boys Basketball

• Boys Swim & Dive

• Girls Basketball

• Softball

• Track & Field

• Girls Lacrosse

• Boys Lacrosse

• Baseball

• Girls and Boys Alpine

• Girls and Boys Nordic

The challenge is real: our budget isn’t keeping pace with the needs of our student-athletes. That’s why this year, every dollar you give goes directly to funding coaching positions—the very foundation that keeps our 36 sports alive and accessible. Without this support, teams will face painful cuts. With it, every student who wants to play can step onto the field, the court, or the track with a coach by their side.

This is our single, urgent goal for the year. Together, we can keep Central Athletics strong, inclusive, and thriving. Please give today—your gift is the difference between cutting opportunities and creating them.

THANK YOU for supporting Central Athletics!

Onward Central!
