"TRADITION TEST" HISTORY OF THE WEST SIDE BOOSTER CLUB
The West Side Booster Club was founded in 1970. However, its
origins can be traced back into the early 1940's through an
organization called the Neighborhood House.
Combined efforts of Harry Gaston, considered to be the father of
West Side Athletics and Neighborhood House, provided enriching
opportunities for St. Paul's West Side boys and girls. These
opportunities included quality structures in the fundamentals of
athletics as well as the fundamentals of life. An environment with
emphasis on mental and physical toughness, teamwork and
integrity was established through football, basketball and baseball
programs.
Coach Gaston instilled in his players one of the most valuable, prosperous and honorable set of guidelines to live by, you must give back what you have been given. Today's coaches are yesterday's players. Today's players will undoubtedly be the coaches of tomorrow. This solid foundation of core values that has been passed down through the generations is what we continue to build on today.
West Side Boosters Mission Statement
We are a youth sports organization that has strong community ties and engrained traditions here in St. Paul’s West Side neighborhood. Our mission is to provide Football, Baseball, Softball and Basketball leagues for boys and girls ages 6-15 years. We do not turn any kids away for their inability to pay.
We are an all volunteer group that works to instill core values and principled work ethics in our youth. This has been a focus that has spanned the last 40 years.
Through the leadership of our coaches and parents, our young athletes have learned that they can compete on any field, on any court and in any venue throughout the state. And this is a lesson they carry with them long after we have finished coaching them.
