Overview

Mission

The Los Alamitos Football Booster Club exists for the purpose of supporting the Los Alamitos High School football program and its coaching staff.

The booster club successfully supported the Los Alamitos High School Football Team by funding uniforms, transportation, pre and post game team meals, end of season banquets, coaching stipends, internet game streaming, practice gear, video editing, photography, league fees, coach training, etc.For the 25-26 season, the Los Alamitos Griffins finished 12-3 and won the CIF Southern Section Division 2 Championship, earning a #1 ranking in CIF-SS Division 2, #8 in the Southern Section overall, #14 statewide in California and #103 nationally. The Griffins advanced to the CIF State Championship Bowl Games as Southern Section representatives, falling to Cathedral Catholic in the Division 1-AA Regional Final. The booster club funded coaching, strength and conditioning, equipment, transportation, and team meals for the full roster, while maintaining monthly financial transparency to member families throughout the season.
