About us
The Dover-Sherborn Gridiron Club is a 501(c)3, non-profit, volunteer group that supports the D-S Raider Football program at all levels: elementary-, middle-, and high- school. Our mission is to create and support an environment that lays the foundation for our players’ academic success. We help build self-esteem and self-discipline, promote a positive image to our community, and instill and practice cooperation and respect for others.
Our goal is to strive for our players’ academic and athletic excellence by promoting team unity and sportsmanship.
The Gridiron Club raises money to support our student-athletes and coaches at the elementary-, middle-, and high- school levels. Thus, the GridIron Club supports the football program in several ways:
- By helping it meet its operational needs, such as providing compensation for coaches, scouts, and film software.
- By helping it meet its capital needs, including equipment, in areas that are not met by the D-S school athletic budget or by the DS Boosters.
- By providing football-specific publications, awards, and food that enhance the players’ experience and build team spirit.
- By advocating for the football program with the school administration & wider community.
- By providing whatever else the Gridiron Club feels is beneficial for the football program as needs arise.
The Dover-Sherborn Gridiron Club operates in cooperation with, and complimentary to, the Dover- Sherborn Boosters (who help all D-S HS sports). We are designed not to overlap with, or detract from, the efforts of the Boosters.
