Fundraising is a big part of team sports. I know in softball fundraising really helps offset players dues and gives the player an opportunity to work to help raise the money. There are many fundraising opportunities where additional money can be raised with softball tip jars.
Every year I try to make something special for the girls on my daughters softball team. As they get older, it is harder to come up with more mature goodies for them. The girls still cannot resist these softball ornaments. This year I bought heart shaped glass Christmas bulbs, however most years I use the jumbo Christmas bulbs. I fill with green paint and add red vinyl softball stitching to the outside. I have included instructions below to make your own softball ornaments for your team. I think this could also be a great softball team bonding activity for about 12 years old and up.
