    Higher level fundraising

    DD's 13u team Heading to some national events in 2016. Looking for some successful fundraising ideas to put together. We already do night at the races, raffles, etc and those are ok to offset the the usual season costs. I'm looking for larger event ideas in the 3-5k range. Thanks.

    National Anthem at tournaments

    Does anyone play the national anthem before the the first set of games everyday? I've not been to a tournament where they did. I remember doing this before baseball tournaments when I was a kid and wondered why we don't do it in softball.
