Sell Videos
One creative way to raise money for your sports team is by selling videos. These items can be obtained in bulk from independent producers and multimedia companies. You can contact them and tell them that you are trying to raise money for your local sports league. Producers and companies will usually offer their assistance in your fundraising strategy. You can take orders or sell videos at an event or central location.

The producers benefit from having exposure and may split the revenues with you. Your sports team benefits by raising funds for uniforms, trips and other necessary items. The only costs involved may be marketing materials such as posters and signs. Order forms may also be another cost associated with this fundraising idea. Since the videos will be provided for free, you will make more money than you spend.

Hold a Dance-off
A dancing competition or party is a great way to raise funds for your sports team. This can be done in a variety of ways. You can hold a dance competition and charge contestants to enter and make money from admission as well. The winner of the competition can be given a prize. This prize can be in monetary form or other gifts.

You can appoint three judges to score each contestant or determine the winner by audience applause. Another way to make money with this creative fundraising idea is to hold a dance party where the last person still on the dance floor at the end of four hours wins a prize. Individuals and couples can be charged to participate or given the option to donate their own desired amount to your sports team. The costs associated with this fundraising idea include food, music and decorations. If you do not have a location that can be used for the event, this may be another cost as well.

Sell Calendars
Many sports teams accumulate lots of pictures. These items can be used as a creative way to raise money for your sports team. You can collect the best photos of your team and assemble them into a 12-month calendar. Each photo does not have to contain all members of the team. You can have random selections of the complete sports team and other action shots of key players. Calendars can be made at a local printing shop or through online merchant services like Cafepress. While it may be costly to print calendars, there is usually a discount for large printing orders. You can make this money back and profit by doubling the printing price for each calendar.

Sell Books
This is another creative way to raise money for your sports team. Selling books can be done much like the videos mentioned earlier in this article. You can contact local authors and sell their books for profit. It may be easier to sell both children's books and adult novels. Children's books are usually easier to sell and people tend to purchase numerous copies of these items. However, adding books for adults can increase the profit for your sports team.
