So you may be asking yourself who do I call on? Spring sports may not be happening or on a delayed schedule for their regular spring season. So what do you do in the meantime while spring sports are making a decision? How about fall sports groups?!?!
During the first quarter of the year, this is the OFF season for football, cheerleading, volleyball, golf, tennis, cross country, field hockey, and water polo. These teams (boys, girls, varsity, junior varsity and freshman teams) are all in their training, conditioning, “tryouts”, and prep time for making the team or squad this coming fall. Obviously the fall season of 2020 was unlike any other and so these groups as they try to “re-group” will be in desperate need of funds and now is the time.
Transitions will begin to happen in May. Everything from tryouts, freshmen orientation, summer camps to summer workouts and tournaments. Available fundraising time may not be on the schedule so time is of the essence. Call on these coaches NOW!
You could run a traditional sale with them (books in hand) or perhaps you could try the one-hour fundraiser known as the Sprint. A lot of reps use this sale with their sports groups as their time is limited, but coaches like the FOCUS of the sale and it’s quick. These tend to be very successful as this is a focused single hour of fundraising. Players come with a list of names and phone numbers along with friendly competition among the players (upper classmen vs. lower classmen; infield vs. outfield; JV vs. Varsity; boys vs. girls, seniors vs everyone else, etc.). If you haven’t run a Sprint sale, reach out to the sales team (sales@savearound.com) and they will be happy to review this option with you and get you up to speed on it.
