Competitive Sports
Parents
and families of students who participate in a sport at
CKM may choose to support the team in many ways.
In
addition to lending support by attendance at games,
sport-specific parent groups may be asked to coordinate
and participate in fundraisers. Examples may include:
snack bars, car washes, fireworks sales, and the like.
Some booster groups have a registration with an affinity
card such as the Quality of Life card offered by Raleys.
Most
sports also promote team unity with sales of t-shirts,
sweatshirts, and other collateral items, and cap the
season’s end with an awards banquet.
For
parents who would like to volunteer at their student’s
high school, providing support to the team-specific
booster group is one easy way to become involved at CKM.
Restore the Roar
In 2007, a
group of CKM alumni formed an alumni booster group
dedicated to the support of the athletic tradition at
McClatchy. Their goal was to tap into the proud “Lion”
tradition to engage alumni as supporters for all
athletic programs at CKM.
Initially
formed to support football, Restore the Roar has
expanded its reach to provide resources to all sports.
In the fall, founders honored fall athletes at the
November “Bell Game” held at the CKM football field.
The group
has also supported study halls and tutoring, pre-game
meals, and transportation and is hoping to provide
scholarships for student athletes as their financial
base grows. Restore the Roar offers benefits to members
as well, including complimentary admission to selected
CKM sporting events.
One need
not be an alumni to join Restore the Roar. Learn more by

Restore the Roar website.
MAAP (McClatchy Association for an
Athletic Powerhouse)
This
non-profit group was formed to raise funds for
improvement of the track and field facility. An
architect was engaged to produce detailed renderings and
site studies, showing how CKM can engineer a
state-of-the-art all-weather field. The district’s
facilities committee is working in tandem with MAAP to
move this project forward, and other sports—such as
baseball and soccer—are included in the planning.
Visit CKM’s
track
and field/cross country team website for more
information on MAAP.
