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.
After a GREAT SHOWING in our second
year, Spartan Squad looks to achieve the following in year three:
-
Having a Spring semester Kickoff event free to all students on Feb. 13 2008 at Campus Village.
-
Getting more students to be aware of fantastic sports to attend including more basketball , baseball, soccer, softball and water polo, among others.
- Continuting huge support for football, volleyball, gymnastics, basketball and others.
- Having an event that makes students aware of SJSU's basketball program, and increasing attendance to games.
- Advising 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.
- Increasing prizes, giveaways and exclusive
offers made ONLY to members of the Spartan Squad.
- Encourage more willing students to become Squad Leads.

**SPARTAN QUOTE**
“It’s their last home meet in Spartan Gym. We still have a lot of meets to go and a lot to accomplish. That’s where our focus is. Before we left the locker room, I said, ‘Let’s dedicate this meet to the seniors.’ This was their meet.”
- Gymnastics coach Wayne Wright, following the Spartans' Senior Night victory over non-conference opponent UC Davis.
