Soccer Fundraising
Soccer teams are great for team-building, socializing, and exercise.
But every soccer parent knows the costs can add up: practice gear, jerseys, and travel expenses, to name a few. Plus, many coaches and assistants volunteer their time or are paid very little for running the team that supports so many, so wouldn’t it be nice to donate to them as well?

Fundraising for soccer teams
Parents and teachers are more than familiar with fundraising ideas that soccer teams can use creatively to earn money, such as:
- Bake-sales
- Weekend car washes
- Benefit dinners or concerts
- Kick-a-thons, where donors pledge per goal
- Selling raffle tickets at local events
- Asking local businesses to sponsor your team in exchange for publicity
These are great ways to earn money for the team, but they require time and effort to organize. For instance, in a car wash, costs are also involved that offset some of the team’s earnings. These factors must be considered when looking at which traditional fundraising activities to engage in.
Traditional fundraisers can be fun but require time, effort, coordination, and upfront costs. All these will need to be thought through when looking at fundraising goals.

How does Classful.com provide all this for free?
With so much value provided to educators and, ultimately, to young people, Classful.com is worthwhile. So, you’re probably wondering, how can we do this free of charge? The answer is, too, to rely on donations. If a donor is giving $100, we ask for a tip. So, a donor might give $20 extra, or give $50 extra, or give no tip at this time.
No matter what, even if no donations are made to Classful, the amount fundraised for your soccer team is not affected, so that you will have the full amount for your projects!
