The Celina Quarterback Club is one of the most envied booster clubs across the state. Much like many other small town traditions, you can’t easily pinpoint exactly what makes this club so special. Whatever ‘it’ is, The Celina Quarterback Club has definitely stood the test of time and is just as strong today as ever. Established in 1953, the Celina Quarterback Club was put in place simply to support Celina athletics, its athletes and coaches. That is still the mission of the club today, but it is so much more than that. While busy throughout the school year, the membership of the club meets every Thursday morning at 5:30 am, during football season, for a hearty breakfast; updates on club activities and projects; reports from the coaching staff on upcoming games; and to watch the previous week’s game film. Many times, however, there is warmth that you might not expect to find in such meetings. Through the years the club has been known to have a special prayer time for a special need; ‘pass the hat’ to help a family in need or maybe an injured player from a surrounding town; or meet in circle prayer around the Celina football team. Unlike many booster clubs today, The Celina Quarterback Club is not just parents of athletes that are here today and gone tomorrow. The club is full of long time Celina supporters that simply wouldn’t miss a meeting or the opportunity to talk about their beloved Bobcats. A mentoring program is set up each year where a member of the club is paired with a varsity player to simply visit and share on a weekly basis throughout the football season. Many great stories come from these relationships and a bond is built that often last many years after the player graduates and moves on to that next phase in their life. Yes, The Celina Quarterback Club is a fund raising organization for Celina athletics, but it truly is so much more. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to be a part of the tradition of being a Celina Bobcat. Join the Celina Quarterback Club today and become an active part of that living tradition.
