Help raise money for tournaments and competitions
Through Crowdfunding you could raise money for travel expenses, equipment and other costs related to sports tournaments or competitions
Imagine you are in this situation: your amateur sports club has worked hard, managed to achieve success in your local league and been invited to take part in a prestigious tournament. However, it will cost hundreds or even thousands in expenses in order for your team to attend, once transportation costs, hotels and other requirements are taken into account.

You could call upon your local community and really engage with your teams personal networks to help your dreams come true. Here are some examples of clubs that have found themselves in that situation, and how crowdfunding allowed them to raise the money they needed.
