I like that idea a lot, I was thinking of some creative ideas myself for our program. One thing that we do is pass out fliers to the local community for a christmas tree pickup, say 5 dollars and we will pick up your christmas tree and dump it for you. You can get some parent volunteers who have trucks and do it all in a day or two and get all the kids to help out.
Made us a lot of money last year and hopefully we can get a lot this year, it paid for 2 tournaments in full and helped out with some new uniforms this year.

My teams have done the Shoot-A-Thon/Free-Throw-A-Thon for the past 6 years. Each year we average makeing nearly $2000 in fundraising money to add to what we already have budgeted from our school. It's easy, it takes about 45 minutes outside of practice to complete and it never takes away from the kids doing their school work or having to ask teachers or any one else for that matter to purchase something from them.

I've done the shoot a thon for the past 3 years and have made at least 5000 off of it each year. Its a great fundraiser and it doesn't cost anything to do.

If you do a program you could also sell ad space to area stores it can make some side money our program does it and usually bring in about seven hundred to a thousand dollars from it

License plate holders are also great to sell. I think you can get them for about $1 each if you order 250 or more, and then you can sell them for $5 and make $1000 profit. Also, do a mother's day out where your players and staff do a mini camp for a few hours, and you charge $5 a kid. Most parents would love to have a few hours alone. ANother one is gift wrapping, where people bring in X-mas gifts and you and your players wrap those gifts for them. Charge a few dollars a gift, and your costs are minimal with cheap wrapping paper and tape.
