Westside Metros teams are encouraged to conduct fundraising to benefit their teams and have the option of determining their own fundraising activities for the season. The Club does provide some club wide fundraising opportunities (Bottle Drop), but teams are allowed to take part in other fundraising opportunities with club approval.
Fundraising is a great way to help offset the cost of tournaments and travel fees. This page is dedicated to giving you the resources you need to have a successful fundraiser for your team. You can also request access to resources for advertising your events.
