Blue Valley High School: Baseball is back. Time to tailgate.

By Charles Dahm, Blue Valley Schools Regional Chair for Father’s Club

Blue Valley High School Father’s Club has a proud tradition of supporting the school, the students, and each other. That tradition continues this year and these dads are making things happen.

Blue Valley High (BVH) was the first of all the Father’s Clubs and it started with a simple conversation among two friends. Brad Holdhusen, when asked about those early days said, “I vividly remember those passionate conversations with my dear friend Vince Stephens. Vince and I had zero idea or thought that it would go beyond Blue Valley High.” Their conversations led to the infamous meetings on the deck where 7 guys met back in August of 2018 and Father’s Club began to take shape. Brad says, “We started with seven guys – pretty soon it was 20 guys. And it kept steamrolling.”

As the school year wrapped up in December the BVH dads got together for some pickleball and to strategize for a successful 2025.

Baseball is BACK and at BVH that means it’s time to tailgate! The dads turn out and fire up the grills to serve. “Blue Valley High has one of the most successful baseball programs in the state and we’re proud to be on hand to cheer on the team and provide a fun environment for the students and families,” says Shaun Reid, Chapter Co-Chair. The chapter donates the burgers, dogs, and sides and engages with the students, fans and players. Providing connections and support along with a friendly face.

“Dads are comfortable behind the grill – it’s a great fit and a lot of fun,” says Corey Reinert, Chapter Co-Chair.

The tailgate is an opportunity for the Fathers club to be present, provide consistent support, along with a representation and reminder of a Fatherly Figure. This is also an opportunity for other dads to connect and join our growing chapter.

The end of the school year is in sight, but these dads will be back next fall ready to chip in and support all BVH Tigers.

Shaun says, “The traditions established back in 2018 are alive and well today. With two BVH feeder schools in the early stages of chapter formation, we’ll be set long into the future.” Please contact us if you want to donate any of your time, at future events, we make a difference in the schools and community and it’s very rewarding!
