Why not have your son help out? Go door to door asking to wash cars, or help with yard work? If he tells them why he is raising money, I would expect some pretty generous tips. Also, can your son or his team sell water, Gatorade, snacks at tournaments or games? Sometimes going to local businesses asking for sponsorships for your team works.

This is not the best place to get reasonable friendly advice about anything. Too many scumbag trollers here. Sorry.

Those of us that were trying to help outnumber the one jerk. But you are right in that there are too many scumbag trollers lately.

I agree. I was talking about the board in general, in addition to this thread. There are some really mentally challenged folks with some pretty sad lives on here, who are the most prolific posters.

What is wrong with playing rec? If she can't afford to pay for her kid to play club how will she afford the travel it takes. That is why this country is in such trouble, people doing things they can't afford and asking strangers to pay for it.
Pay to Play. No Free Lunches.
 
To OP-- if your son really dreams of doing this, then I wish him good luck.

In regards to the other discussion/comments-- have some class.

Maybe people haven't been kind or polite to you-- and if that is the case, I'm sorry for it-- but at least consider treating others how you would *want* to be treated. Here is a parent trying to help out their kid. I think all of us can find some common ground in that-- an honorable pursuit.
 
One thing that may help is to go to the Arizona forum. They have spoken a lot of the new academy and I am sure there will be parents who you can ask that question to who may be able to give you some more strategies

Leaving aside Fathead Joe's pointless hostility (clearly his kid(s) have been unable to compete against the Mexican kids so he's mad), Timbuk has posed the best questions and I'm curious what Michelle's response is. In my extensive experience, money has rarely precluded a kid from the right opportunities. Fathead Joe's family just can't compete in life, so he blames immigrants.

Well that hurts.
Why would you bring race into the discussion?
Do you know they are illegal or just playing the old, tired worn out race card.
Why would you insult my famiy?
My kid will be a 2 sport varsity starter as a freshman, yours?
I will be paying for it as well, unless you would like to send me a donation.

Kudos to your kid. You name yourself after a huge racist asshole who, if we wasn't 85, would be going to jail now. You call the black ex-President a "Kenyan," you say with no basis whatsoever that the country is in trouble because of "people doing things they can't afford and asking strangers to pay for it." What does that even mean? How? People who talk like you are either total hypocrites or total haters, or both.

The best thing I've done on here is press the ignore button for that guy. He has nothing substantial to contribute.
