As the heat of summer gives way to the chill of fall, many American sports fans have one thing in mind: soccer. As one of America’s favorite pastimes, soccer offers people two different opportunities: to be spectators or to be players. From youth flag football leagues to high school teams to college and professional teams, there are many levels of players. And even if they do play, people across the country love to watch the sport, too. Fans of all ages turn on the television or head to the local high school, college, or pro stadium from September to January to see their favorite teams in action.
It doesn’t matter if they are players or spectators, people love to let the world know who their favorite team is. They get involved by going to games, making trinkets before, and cheering wildly during. Parents use bumper stickers or other items to show their support for their youth league or high school team; People of all ages wear replica logo t-shirts or sweatshirts to represent their favorite college or professional team. To get even more involved in how well a high school or youth team can do, some people will organize fundraisers so the team can enjoy great equipment and high-end uniforms. Here are a couple of unique ideas on how best to show your team spirit and how to have a successful youth soccer fundraiser.
If you want a fun and cool way to accessorize your look, consider bracelets. Made from 100% silicone, they can be styled in a variety of colors. So imagine this: if your team colors are blue and orange, you have a lot of options. You can get a blue and an orange bracelet and wear them on the same wrist on one of each wrist. Or you can get a bracelet with segmented colors, half orange and half blue. For even more eye-catching pop and conversation value, you can get one in a swirl pattern. Or go for a more subtle look with blue on the outside and orange on the inside. On top of all that, you can add your team name printed directly on the band. The options are truly endless, and with a unique bracelet like that on your arm, you’ll be marked as a committed fan for sure.
What’s even better is that those same bracelets can be the foundation for a popular and successful fundraiser. Youth leagues and high school teams need extra money for teams, uniforms, and trips to distant games (even out of state!). The bracelets can be the backbone of an effort to raise money for fan buses, hotels for teams, or other necessary expenses. They can be customized with your particular team’s colors, logo and rallying cry, making them a “must-have” for team fans. The bracelets are popular with all ages, from children to parents and grandparents, so you are sure to sell many before and during games. Plus, because you can order them at lower wholesale prices, you’ll make even more money with each one you sell. And you might even consider getting matching silicone keychains, slap bands, and rings. Fans on your team will go crazy over silicone accessories, and your fundraiser will be well on its way to success. Just remember to always be creative and have fun with your team spirit look!
