How to Put Fun in Fundraising for Your Youth Sports League

When I was in elementary school I never looked forward to the team fundraising drive that always kicked off the Little League season. We were expected to go out and sell candy bars, nuts, wreaths or any number of other items every year. Believe me, it was complete drudgery and I looked forward to it about as much as getting into a fight with my big brother.
Our coach would get us all huddled up and hand us the sales packets and say something like “Go out there and sell lots of stuff.” Off we would trudge and try to hawk our wares completely unprepared for our foray into sales. But what if we had been coached on how to sell and how to present ourselves? It would have been a whole lot easier.
Teach your kids how to sell. Prepare a script for them to learn and rehearse it with them until they are comfortable.
