It takes a village to make our Booster programs run, and since Boosters is made up entirely of volunteers, every helping hand makes a real difference.
Open After School for All Students
The Cougar Canteen is Oakton’s after-school snack shack, offering grab-and-go snacks for students staying for all school activities — not just athletics. Conveniently located in Cougar Hall by the main gym, the Canteen is open daily from 2:50 PM to 3:45 PM and is organized and run by adult volunteers.
Every purchase helps support the Booster Athletic Programs.
Fun fact: The Canteen is now cashless. Students may pay with cash only if they have exact change; otherwise, electronic payment is required. This applies to the after-school Canteen only. Regular sports game concessions still accept both cash and electronic payment.
All Oakton families are welcome to volunteer — no prior experience needed. Directions for working the Canteen will be posted here for reference.

Each season Boosters hold a competition for all teams to win $500!
The team with the most volunteer slots worked in the after-school canteen, per season, wins cash from Boosters. The sports team does not need to be "in season" to win.
How do game concessions work?
Game concessions are run by volunteers from the teams playing that night, and your team parents will provide guidance on what to do. Boosters supplies everything in advance, including the products, supplies, event bank, and step-by-step directions for operating concessions.

OAKTON STUDENT BUILDS TRAINING SANDPIT FOR ATHLETICS
Nick Rossini, Class of 2025, has upgraded the Oakton athletic experience by planning and building a sandpit for training purposes. This summer Nick completed his Eagle Project which benefitted Oakton High School. This past spring Nick presented his plan to the Boosters Board and with the support of family and friends completed his initiative. The training sandpit is a great tool for improving speed and agility. The sand provides resistance to challenge muscles, helping to make you faster and more explosive. The constant shift of sand under your feet engages small stabilizer muscles that improve balance and reduce the risk of injury.
The Boosters organization applauds and thanks Nick Rossini for his outstanding service to Oakton athletics. Go Cougs!
