About The Boosters
Greetings! We have had a great football year and we are so excited to get you involved with the Cocoa Beach Football Association for 2023.
First, a little about this parent and community operated organization.
As school districts have begun to restrict funds directed towards sports programs, in particular, football teams, without a booster club are most at risk because of the high cost of equipment. When program directors have to tighten the budget, they avoid costly items like lineman sleds and weight room improvements. Many football teams fall behind their rivals because of inadequate funding and outdated equipment for training camp and practice. Without the right tools to succeed, any football team would suffer. To counter these various deficiencies, we have established a football booster, also known as the Cocoa Beach Football Association (CBFA), a nonprofit organization. When parents and supporters have a football booster club in support of the program, their children are better equipped to succeed. The CBFA is able to fill the gap between what a great team needs and what traditional funding can provide. As a direct result, the positive effects of the CBFA reverberate throughout the entire community, sustaining and building a healthy program.
An investment in the CBFA is an investment in the entire program. The CBFA coordinates social events as fundraisers and volunteer opportunities for the players, coaches, families, and the community. The events help form bonds of friendship and comraderies, which are valuable relationships that extend far past the football field.
The CBFA invites you to GET INVOLVED! If you have time or a talent, please reach out to one of your Executive Committee members or send an email to cocoabeachfootballassociation@gmail.com. Needs for this year include:

Fundraising!
To foster the growth of the association without overly burdening parents the board is working toward a few major fundraisers throughout the year, that allow us to sustain our operating budget. One of our largest, and best fundraisers, is our inaugural Golf Tournament scheduled for May 13, 2023. Another is Casino Night, tentatively scheduled for August 5, 2023. We need a lot of parent/grandparent/community assistance to make these events successful. Other fundraisers include bingo, carwash, and tailgates! Keep an eye out for announcements!
Just to remind you, the purposes of the CBHS Football Booster Association are:
- To help raise school spirit by promoting a positive atmosphere as part of our athletic events
- To help lead the community by setting an example of volunteerism and involvement in school activities
- To supplement our school’s budget by providing supplies and equipment that support our school’s football program and our student athletes, as well as all of the CBHS students using our athletic facilities
- To help promote the positive athletic experiences that play such a vital role in our children’s development, and to enhance the enjoyment of the CBHS athletic experience for our community, our visitors and our guests
