There’s only so much time you can spend practicing your serve and diving for volleyballs before you start feeling antsy. Once the itch to get back on the court starts to become unbearable, you need to find a way to fund your practices, tournaments, and competitions. Luckily, there are tons of cheap and easy ways you can fundraise. If your team is looking for ideas on how to raise money fast so that you can hit the court again as soon as possible, we’ve got you covered. We understand that not everyone is willing or able to donate money directly for such things as practice facilities, tournament registration fees, new equipment, or jerseys. However, that doesn’t mean that fundraising has to be difficult. Below are volleyball fundraising ideas.
Throw a pizza party.
A classic fundraising technique, a pizza party can be as simple or elaborate as you want to make it. You can choose how many pizzas to buy based on how much money you want to make, and then sell them either by the slice or by the pie. Alternatively, you can offer a free personal pizza for each ticket that a customer purchases for your event. As with any pizza party, the trick is to have enough different types of pizza so that everyone can find their favorite.
Sell T-Shirts and hoodies.
You can use a ready-made design or make your custom design to raise money with T-shirts and hoodies. Alternatively, you can also sell apparel such as wristbands or hats. The great thing about T-shirts is that you can sell them long after your fundraising event is over. You can sell them online, at school, or at your local neighborhood shop. Hosting a T-shirt sale can be a great way to get your entire team together in one place and make some money along the way. You can hold a T-shirt sale at your school, at a nearby park, or even in the parking lot outside a sports arena. If you’re looking for a way to make some quick cash, a T-shirt sale is a great way to go.
Have a car wash.
If you want to host a car wash, you’re not going to need fancy equipment or a lot of room. You can make a car wash just about anywhere: on the school’s football field, in your school’s parking lot, or even in your team’s garage or driveway. You can either have people pay for the car wash or you can have people donate a specific amount to the cause. If you’re hosting the car wash with your family, you’ll want to make sure to have a sign indicating who the car wash is benefitting so that you don’t get the wrong kind of attention.
Hold a sporting goods equipment swap.
If your team has old sporting goods equipment that you no longer use and that isn’t worth selling, why not get rid of it in an equipment swap? Sporting goods equipment swaps are a great way to raise money for your team: you can host one at a local park, sports arena, or school as long as there is some space for people to bring their items. You can either have folks bring their items and set a price or you can have them donate items for a specific donation amount.
Host a dinner, movie, or karaoke night.
Catering, snacks, or even meals are a great way to raise money for your team. If the team has a lot of younger players, you may want to avoid hosting a dinner or meal event as it may be difficult for them to chip in. If you host a movie night or karaoke event, you can make all attendees pay admission. If you host a dinner, you can encourage people to donate. If you want to host an event that is open to people outside of your team, you might want to consider a bake sale or pig roast instead. Hosting a themed event can be a great way to bring the team together while also raising money at the same time. Whether you decide to host a dinner, a movie, or karaoke night, you can charge an admission fee or ask attendees to donate.
Take part in a physical activity fundraiser.
If you want to raise money for your team but you aren’t a fan of the indoors, there are plenty of physical activities that can help you raise money. From 7-mile bike rides to fun runs, there are tons of physical activities that you can participate in to raise money for your team. If you’re serious about fundraising, you can even create your event. Not only will this help you raise more money, but it will also let people know that you need their help. If you decide to take part in physical activity to fundraise, you can create a team and do the event together or you can participate in the event as an individual. Depending on the event, you may be able to raise money online or collect donations at the event.
