What is Spartan Squad?
Spartan
Squad is the official student athletic booster club of San José State University.
The purpose of Spartan Squad is to support all SJSU athletic
programs while increasing unity and pride throughout the student
body. The idea for Spartan Squad was conceived by senior business
management major Matthew Olivieri and senior business marketing
major Brad Villeggiante. Former Associated Students President
Rachel Greathouse, former Associated Students Executive Director
Alfonso De Alba and Assistant Athletic Director Bill Penrod all
provided unconditional backing as they shared in the vision and
realized the potential in a student athletic booster club at
San José State University. Without their support, Spartan
Squad would not exist today. Their backing along with the continued
ongoing support from the current Associated Students as well
as San José State University Athletics made it possible
for Spartan Squad to be brought to life in Fall 2005.
Spartan Squad continues to look to achieve the following:
- Continuing the tradition of holding a free Kickoff event for SJSU students each semester.
-
Getting more students to be aware of fantastic sports to attend including more basketball, baseball, soccer, softbal,l and water polo, among others.
- Continuting huge support for football, volleyball, gymnastics, basketball and others.
- Advising even more students to wear their Spartan Squad shirts to any sporting event they attend, and to find other students wearing the shirts to cheer loudly with them.
-
Increasing traffic to
our website - encourage thorough use to see everything it
has to offer.
- Working side by side with SJSU Athletics to make home games even more exciting and rewarding to students who wear their Spartan Squad shirts.
- Encourage more students to travel to nearby away games such as SJSU @ Stanford.
