Ipswich High School Football Boosters
Welcome to the Ipswich High School Football Booster Program. We are the parent support group for the Ipswich High School football teams during both good times and the tough times. Over the years, many parents and friends have joined together and raised funds for equipment, shirts, jackets, sweatpants/shirts, hats, awards, the annual football banquet and college scholarships for seniors that apply.
A new video system was purchased in 2009 at the request of Varsity Head Coach Ted Flaherty, with funds raised by our members, the players, their families and the boosters. We also purchased rain gear for game days, new under-armor for players and in 2010 we will be adding the Grid Iron workout to the in-season weightlifting program.
Needless to say the many tasks that are involved cannot be accomplished by only a few hands. We urge you to join the Boosters since our efforts directly benefit the teams. The more help that is given, the more successful we will be. Go Tigers!!

How the Boosters Need Your Help!
Many volunteer opportunities exist. We ask Freshman parents to work the snack shack on Friday nights during Varsity home games since your sons play on Thursday afternoons. The snack shack also sells pizza, hotdogs, beverages and snacks. Many hands make for light work — we need 4-5 parents per night! We also need freshmen parents to supervise the cleaning of the stands after home games which is done by the Freshman players!
We also ask the Freshman players to sell programs during these games in addition to helping set up the field as requested by the coaching staff , Players earn “points” for service that are later redeemed to reduce the cost of Junior jackets. Players also earn points for selling Gold Cards, Pancake Breakfast Tickets etc. During home games, we also ask for volunteers to run the 50/50 raffle.
