Dress nicely. Don't look like an ignant park rat.

Speak clearly, and properly. Not "dude", "bro", and definitely don't swear.

Do talk about how more and more people are getting into park, and it is bringing more people into skiing.

Do talk about the benefits of having a structured program.

facts! most athletic directors want it to be profitable and not just make a program and have no one join so just give a lot of legit convincing facts to help persuade him/her into approving it

like with most school sponsored activities you will need a coach, leader, chaperone. it would be a good idea to have someone lined up. also it would be good to include snowboarders as well. this will make it easier to get enough people to have a "club". let the administrator know that you are willing to do the leg work to get the club up and running. it will look good on a college app/ resume. good luck bro

Get a list of names off ppl who would join. It would help to show ppl are actually interested in the club. good luck.
