Fundraising Fundraising For 15 years I coached and played amateur baseball in the AABC in the Atlanta area. Stan Musial division. As the primary coach, general director, groundskeeper, uniform supplier, league rep and waterboy, I knew firsthand the problems of making budgets work. And how hard it was funding teams when individual revenue wasn't enough.
Amateur baseball is no doubt the toughest sport to raise money for.
Sponsors are a must. I was lucky for a while in that one of my players' dad worked for Wilson Sporting Goods. Being a builder, I often traded my services for baseballs, uniforms and equipment. And it helped. Until I ran out of house to remodel.
