The Maize High School and Maize South High School Booster Clubs work closely together with Maize USD 266 to provide support and funding for athletic needs not included in the athletic department budget. The most beneficial way the community can support booster clubs is to purchase an All District Athletic Pass. The pass is an easy and convenient way for families to save money to attend home sporting events during the school year. The pass works for both middle and high school games for the Eagles and Mavericks. There are four pass types available:

1. Family pass, which includes four cards
2. Individual student pass
3. Individual adult pass
4. District pass, which is for current and retired Maize USD 266 employees
