Coaches, what are some ways that your program gets the alumni involved, other than coaching? I have returned to my Alma Mater and am looking for ways to get our alumni to participate in our program. One idea we have is to have an alumni celebration night in which we recognize some of our past players. My grandfather, at age 76, still gets an alumni newletter from his high school. Any help will be much appreciated.

We are in the process of trying to get our guys back in the mix as well. Our school does not keep tabs on our alumni, but they do have the list of class officers who are in charge of class reunions, etc.... so are starting their with rounding up names and addresses. Some things we are looking at getting them involved is inviting them back for a golf and or fishing tournaments, newsletters and even contacting some we know of who have been very successful to come and address the team during the season.

This saturday will be our 4th annual football and friends golf outing. We also maintain an email directory. Part of the golf proceeds go towards a football alumni scholarship.
PM me if you have any questions.

We also are trying to get the alumni back into the program. Over the past three years we have honored past championship teams at halftime, we are have our first golf outing on AUg 10th, after our homecoming game we are going to have a pig roast at a local restaurant that we have connections to. We have a few coaches from past teams and we have tried to get them to get as many guys as they can and they ask those guys to contact others that they know! WE are in the process of also setting up an email directory.

My old high school (where I went to HS - medium sized public) has an alumni football game where the Odd year graduates play the Even years. Players have to pay a fee (it was $25 back in the day when I played) and all the proceeds, gate, and concessions go to the booster club/football team. I haven't been back for a few years now but I hear it is still a huge draw for the school. The school I'm coaching at now also offers a Letterman Card for those alums who lettered (free admission to regular season games).

Those are all some great ideas. Thanks for the feedback.
