The rest is us.
The district covers a small part of what it takes to run this program. Parents, families, and local businesses cover the rest.
For families
Join the booster club
Every parent, guardian, grandparent, and fan is welcome. Membership is what pays for the gear, the tournament fees, and the bus to the Valley. Members hear about tryouts, game nights, and the camp first.

Where it goes
Four things the district does not buy
- Team gearWarmups, shooting shirts, bags. Every player, every level.
- Tournament feesThe South Invitational and the Wolverine Classic do not run on air.
- BasketballsA program goes through them faster than anyone outside it would guess.
- TravelAnything past the Anchorage bowl. The Valley, the Peninsula, and back.
Nothing on that list is optional, and none of it is covered.
The program
Two teams, one program
Varsity gets the headlines. Junior Varsity is where the next few years of varsity is built. The booster club funds both the same way.
Varsity
The top of the program. Conference play through the winter, the Wolverine Classic and the South Invitational at home, and the road games that the booster club pays to get them to.
Junior Varsity
The year before varsity, and this season the only other team in the program. Same gym, same standards, same gear, and the same booster club behind it.
This is the room your name goes in front of.

Straight answers
The questions people actually ask
Do I have to volunteer for anything?
No. Plenty of members never work a single event. If you want to help, there is always something, and it is usually one shift, not a season.
Is my kid's spot affected if we do not join?
No. Membership has nothing to do with playing time, tryouts, or roster spots, and it never will. No player is ever required to pay anything to participate.
Is this tax deductible?
SABBBC is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit and the Tax ID is 20-1893263, so contributions are generally deductible. Check with your tax advisor for your own situation.
I own a small business. Is a gym banner actually worth it?
Parents are far more likely to buy from a business backing their own kid's program than one backing a pro team. A banner sits in front of that audience all winter, every home game, for less than most single ads cost.
Where does the money go?
Gear, tournament fees, basketballs, and travel outside the Anchorage bowl. It stays with the program.
Can I give without joining or sponsoring?
Yes. A check works, at any amount. Make it payable to South Anchorage High School Boys Basketball Booster Club and mail it to 13801 Arboretum Street, Anchorage, Alaska 99516. A receipt gets mailed back to you.
Thank you

Every name here paid for something real: a bus to the Valley, a tournament entry, a set of game jerseys.
