At South Lakes High School, we’re always looking for ways to support our athletes, coaches, and teams as they strive for excellence. This year, the South Lakes Boosters have rolled out an exciting new initiative: Booster Grants. These grants allow coaches to request funding for essential team needs that go beyond what’s provided by Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS). This initiative was created to ensure our teams have the tools they need to excel both in practice and on the field.
Our first round of grant applications brought in requests from a variety of sports programs, each with specific needs. We’re thrilled to announce that funds have been awarded to help enhance these teams’ resources:
- Dance – Wrist Weights
- Boys Soccer – Scrimmage Vests
- Girls Basketball and Volleyball – Two Portable Scoreboards
- Swim and Dive – New Tech for Scorekeeping
- Girls Volleyball – Hitting Targets
- Girls Lacrosse – New Sticks and Practice Targets
- Girls Soccer – Portable Goals
In total, we’ve granted $4,550 to support our teams in this round of funding.
How You Can Help
Our ability to fund these grants is a direct result of the generous support from our sponsors and community. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference in our athletes’ lives, helping them achieve their goals and build lifelong skills through sports.
Booster Grants will open three times a year, allowing coaches to request additional items for their teams. The Booster Executive Board reviews each application and votes to allocate funds, ensuring that the grants go toward resources that have a meaningful impact.

“On behalf of all the players, coaches, and families of the South Lakes Girls Soccer Team, we thank you all for your generosity and support.
