2022 FOOTBALL 101

The LNE Football Booster Club (LNEFBC) needs your help!!

Lincoln Northeast is known for being a very unique school in Lincoln. The Rockets are known for their community support.
Other schools can only wish they had the support of their community like we do. WE ARE A FAMILY . You are that support
that makes this all happen. The best way to provide support is by paying your Bus/Meal Fee. Installments are
accepted if this helps your family.

Many do not realize this but the district does not pay for any in-town bussing. This includes to Seacrest/Beechner or other
Lincoln Public Schools. A trip to any school in town will cost us approximately $260.00 per bus . The only other option
would be to drive your child yourselves and not ride as a team. This could be at 2:30 in the afternoon when you would need
to take off of work or arrange for a ride.

Bus/Meal Fees alone do not cover in-town bussing and out of town meals completely, but are much needed to help in
covering the cost. 9th Players’ fee is ($50.) & 10th-12th Players’ fee is ($100) if paid by 8/22/2022. If you would like to
visit with someone privately about other options of paying fees, please contact Lorie Covington at (402) 770-0339, Tricia
Vocasek at (402) 310-3108, or Maggie Schumacher at (402) 499-7404.

Payment can be made to our VENMO account - http://www.venmo.com/RocketFB-Boosters, cash, or check made out to
LNE Boosters. PLEASE PUT GRADE & PLAYER’S NAME!

● Bus/Meal Fees also help to cover some of the cost of Out of Town meals - There will be a Sign-Up Genius for
parents to provide bus snacks for out of town games. Please consider becoming a team parent to help with
this.
● Out of Town bussing is provided by the District.
● The LNEFBC coordinates events and fundraising activities throughout the year to help supplement buses, meals
as well as the expenses listed below:
o Camp t-shirts/Varsity Posters

ROLE OF PARENTS IN ATHLETICS

This is a mandatory meeting if you have not attended one yet! Normally held in August, date & time TBA . This
meeting is for all first time athletic parents. You must attend or your student athlete will not be allowed to play in High
School sports at Northeast. This is a one time meeting and will only need to be attended one time in your student’s high
school career. If you are unable to attend the in-person meeting, there will be a slide show of the presentation available on
the LNE Athletic Website.

Fall Booster Blast Off

This is a way for sports teams and boosters to showcase their area of sport and to accept new booster members,
donations to help to the team, etc.

SIGN UP GENIUS
This is our lifeline to supporting our athletes. Please accept the invitation to participate in order to see what is needed
for a specific game or event. You must accept it for it to work! This is an on-line signup sheet for team meals, snacks,
volunteers and concessions. Please, sign up for items or assistance needed.

Athletic Academic Support

This is an AWESOME opportunity for our athletes who may need academic assistance. Academic Support is now called
Rocket House. A player who has one failing grade or more are expected to attend Rocket House on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Thursdays. If a player has two failing grades on Tuesday grade check day, they are unable to compete
until the following week assuming grades have improved.
 SPORTS PACKETS
Sports Packets have changed again. LPS Computing Services is working hard to get the participation packet available to
complete in Synergy on Parent Vue. The last meeting we had they were looking at going live with it on May 8, but we don't
have printed out instructions. We want to encourage as many to do the online packet as possible, but will still have the
physical & consent forms available if needed.Reminder- Physicals must be dated after May 1, 2022 and are due to the
athletic office prior to August 8,2022.

THE ATHLETIC BOOSTER CLUB (LNEABC) MEMBERSHIP (individual or business)

It is important to recognize the difference between the Football Booster Club and the Athletic Booster Club. The
FootballBooster Club supports everything mentioned above but only for football. The ABC supports larger ticket items for
all sports. Examples include equipping the new weight room, replacing scoreboards in the gyms and football field,
buyingvideo and training room equipment. They do things like this for every sport!
The ABC pays for many major items for all Northeast athletics that are extremely expensive but necessary. Your
membership in the ABC is equally as important to support your athlete and Lincoln Northeast athletics. Membership for
the Athletic Booster Club is as low as $25 for the year. With this membership you will receive 10% off your athletic pass
and a window cling to proudly show your support. This membership can be purchased with the form located in your
packets, online at http://lneabc.org/support/. Please, strongly consider being an ABC member!

WE NEED YOUR PARTICIPATION AND MEMBERSHIP!

Your participation in Bus/Meal fees,

memberships and volunteering in
booster club events is the only thing
that will make this machine run. There
is no better way to support your
athlete. We will announce when
our next meeting is. They usually
are at 6:00 p.m. in the Pit. Please
come! Everyone is welcome! If you
have any questions, please
contact any Booster member.
