If your school or booster club needs extra money for your team or league, you can easily use the wonderful technology that is available and enabled on most internet devices to expand your team’s online presence. It’s one thing to have a Facebook page or Twitter account to keep up with game stats or post a video after the game is over, however there’s a new way to expand your teams footprint and earn money. plus at the same time.

I attended a booster club meeting recently and was amazed at the amount of financial support a typical booster club gives their schools for facilities and equipment. From commercial lawn mowers to scoreboards, booster clubs are truly the backbone of every team’s support structure. This club raised over $15,000.00 for a 3-month season to help maintain the soccer field and general stadium upkeep.

Without your support, where would the typical school be financially? They can’t get paid enough from the concession stand and ticket sales for a typical sporting event. Getting support for a team is a constant challenge that never goes away. Just lighting the field for night games is expensive.

OK, you may be asking, where am I going with this? There is nothing that will solve the current problem, but we have an idea that has helped schools gain and maintain a stream of income without having to recruit volunteers to work all the time on events that require a lot of time and effort. Bake sales, auctions, and paid plated dinners bring in revenue, but many times the net income is small, so you have to have other events to raise money. Usually a wealthy donor is the lifeline for most programs.

Check out this idea for an easy way to raise money with more value for your money. Find 2 volunteers who love the game. Get them a microphone, headphones, and a laptop with an Internet connection. They can call the game live play-by-play and stream it online. Anyone can listen for free with any Internet device. You register local businesses once a season with a simple 1-page form. He charges them $500.00 per season to advertise on his channel and keeps all the advertising dollars for himself. The cost per game is as low as $20.00 and it is designed for iPhone, Android phones, iPad and other Internet devices for live listening from anywhere in the world. It’s great for alumni, grandparents, distant relatives, and most importantly, military personnel on deployment with a child who’s at the game.

It is the new way to have live information about your School or team widely disseminated. The channel runs 24/7 with reruns or highlights and can stream other events like glee club, band meet, graduation, etc.

If you think about this and give it a try, you’ll have more money for your show and help promote your team beyond what the local news can do.
