What can a college sports team do for fundraising?

November 12010

I am president of a college swim club. Need some ideas to make some money and also donate some. Reminder: College kids can’t pay for much. Maybe a community fundraising? or asking from companies.

Hey Rhea

You could do something really simple. You get some scratch cards, put your emblem on them to personalize them. A donor scratches a circle and for a couple of bucks gets coupons to local restaurants. Each card comes with free shipping and raised over $100. It just needs to get done.

College students may not have a lot of money, so black tie diners are out, BUT they like to eat. You can do other things like have a BBQ or sell snacks. These ideas can be combined with any other fundraising campaign you put on.

How about a trivia night at a local bar?

What is the best age to begin your child in youth sports?

October 292010

My daughter is close to being 4. What is the best age to get her involved in organized youth sports programs to gauge her interest and enjoyment of such activities?

the best age to start is when a child is ready, it varies ALOT. but for starters put the child in a sport that focuses on fun rather than competition. Show your child different sports and let her try them . If she likes it let her continue. Meet the coach talk to him/her and make sure he/she is what you want. If your child shows interest then let her try the sport and gradualy increase competitive level if the child wants too. good luck.

What percentage of people who bet on sports are profitable in the long run?

October 292010

Please include a link to an actual study on this if possible. My cousin seems to think he can win money sports betting in the long run. I would like to see stats on this

I really don’t think there’s ever been a study, but most individuals that are very knowledgeable with the sports betting industry will tell you it’s around 1%. Again, I have no evidence to back it up, but I would say it’s very close to that or even less. If you want to be successful at sports betting than it is at least a full time job. Trust me, it’s not easy and can be an emotional roller coaster that most individuals can’t handle.

For some free and unbiased advice, check out http://www.sports-betting-insights.com . We will tell you like it is and go over the good and bad. Most people believe the hype that so many touts and websites are trying to sell them on becoming rich over night. Obviously, that’s just not reality. I could go on and on, but you get the point.

Can someone explain the pyramid on the Wii sports fitness test?

I think each test means one of the traits on the pyramid, but to be honest it means nothing more than how well you’ve scored on them.

Why is it that India excels in Individual sports but sucks in team sports?

October 292010

I mean we find a lot of sports icons coming up in individual sports but when team sports is concerned we dont deliver.Is it because we lack unity?
Shiva I know we dont have many but whatever we have had its predominantly from individual sports

Poor facilities and management. Government doesn’t care.

Is it too late to join sports in university?

October 292010

I’m 19 and I was never interested in sports in HS, but suddenly I’m wanting to try a lot of sports such as volley ball, racing, swimming, and whatever else I could try. Are most girls almost at pro levels once they go to college since most people start sports in HS? I really want to be part of a team and/or compete, but I’m scared it’s too late as I’m already in university (2nd year) and untrained. Did anyone START sports in university and what sport do you play?

its never late…go and enjoy the life…and play the game which makes u feel enjoy…dont compare with others to choose your fav. spots.!

Who do you guys think is the worst Division 3 college in sports?

October 292010

Im talking like football mostly, but you can also say something about baseball, or basketball also. Im just curious to see what people have to say. My buddy thinks Hiram College in Ohio is the worst college ever in sports, but I think there is a lot of other bad schools. Let me know what you think thanks a lot!

It varies from year to year. D3 colleges don’t give out athletic scholarships, so it all depends on the kids that want to go to that school for academics. Also, the worst college in sports would be a college without sports. Some is better than none. Even a bad team still goes out there, practices and gives it their all. I would give any college athlete props for competing not for a scholarship, but for the love of the game in college.
