Athletics support structures like booster organizations and fundraising groups are important to reduce passing along costs of high school sports to athletes, parents, and schools. In many towns, volunteering to join athletics boosters is open to parents, alumni, and any community members.

Booster clubs organize fundraisers to buy equipment, pay field and venue costs, and some offer college scholarships to promising athletes. Below is a list of booster club information by town:
