Talks with student-athletes, lunch, and free admission to the football game are highlights of the day. Black and Gold Club Girls and boys in grades one through eight participate in a variety of roles at Commodore women's basketball home games, including being ball girls and boys, assisting in the press box, assisting the Commodores in pre-game activities, and assisting the videographer in taping the basketball game. For a small membership fee, each child receives a T-shirt, a poster, a pizza party, an official media guide, a newsletter, and an autograph session with the players. Contact the women's basketball office at 343-8482 for more information. Young boys can also be a part of Commodore basketball action by becoming ball boys.
Ball boys assist at men's basketball games.
