Aptos Sports Foundation

Aptos Sports Foundation The Aptos Sports Foundation is a non-profit organization created more than 40 years ago for the purpo The next step in our growth is the ASF Endowment Fund.

ASF History:

The Aptos High Sports Foundation was created in 1979 as a non-profit organization for the purpose of improving the sports facilities and after-school programs at Aptos High School. Original founders Dean Weise, Smiley Verduzco, Joe Callahan, Joe MacEnerny and Paul Bailey established it as a Foundation separate from the high school to allow for more flexibility in fund raising and don

ations. Over the years the Foundation has raised and donated funds, materials and labor totaling more than $3,300,000 toward those improvements. Our plan is to take the Aptos Sports Foundation to a higher level. Our vision of ASF’s future is to improve facilities, and fund after-school sports programs throughout Aptos. Our primary focus is the development of Aptos sports program (specifically Aptos High School) resulting in a top quality athletic program to rival the best programs in Northern California, public or private. We have established relationships with the school district, alumni and the community of Aptos that we can utilize to develop the fund under the umbrella of Aptos Sports Foundation. There is now an alumni base reaching back to the first graduation class – 1970. The relationships and credibility created through the years gives us a platform to develop the endowment fund and grow the impact of the Aptos Sports Foundation. These alumni can now fondly look back and attribute some of their successes in life to lessons learned, and friendship made, during their participation in after-school sports. Now it's your turn to get involved. Be a part of it! You're a Mariner for life and we want you to be connected to the family! Copyright ©Aptos Sports Foundation 2014

HUGE thank you to our Poker Tournament and event sponsors! It’s community support like this that is the only reason 100% of what we raise goes back to the student-athletes at Aptos High school and its feeder programs. Did you know that the amount of Mariners who play at least one sport is more than any in the county? That includes Cabrillo College and UC Santa Cruz!

  keeping that run alive!

We would like to invite you to become a sponsor for our football team at Aptos High! At Aptos High School, football is more than just a sport — it’s a leadership academy disguised as a team. Our mission is to shape young men into people of character, integrity, and work ethic. Through football, we teach lessons in accountability, resilience, teamwork, and pride — lessons that stick with our players for life.

Last season was one for the books. We battled through one of the toughest leagues in Northern California, then made an electrifying postseason run to the CCS Section Championship, knocking off the #2 and #3 seeds along the way. That success wasn’t just about talent, it was about toughness, preparation, and belief. And it showed exactly what our program is capable of when the community stands behind it.

As we gear up for a new season, we’re inviting local businesses and families to join us in that mission. By sponsoring Aptos Football — through a field banner or program ad — you’re not just gaining visibility. You’re directly supporting:

Safety equipment (helmets, shoulder pads, mouth guards)
Team meals that fuel performance and camaraderie
Uniforms and spirit wear that build pride and unity
Weight room upgrades to help build strong, healthy bodies
A program built to develop future leaders on and off the field

We’ve seen former Mariners grow into doctors, teachers, entrepreneurs, fathers, and mentors. That journey starts here — and it starts with people like you stepping up to make it possible.

“Football taught me what real work ethic is and how to find that next gear when you feel like you’re at your limit. The kind of discipline Aptos Football instilled in me is something I carry every day — and it's played a major role in how I approach challenges in my life and career.”

— Dominic Giuliani, M.D., AHS c/o 2016, 3x CCS Champion

We’d love to have you as a partner this season!
