About

The West Side Boosters Youth Athletic Club, Inc, a non-profit organization (501c3), was established in 1970 to provide athletic opportunities for young people regardless of their ability or financial status. Our mission is to develop and administer programs which provide leadership and engagement through sports and social activities to West Side youth. The West Side Boosters does not turn anyone away for their inability to pay.

History - WEST SIDE SINCE WAY BACK

The Westside 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 Westside Athletics and Neighborhood House, provided enriching opportunities for St. Paul's Westside 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.
