Fill My Soccer Ball is an interactive online digital fundraiser for soccer teams and clubs in which participants try to get a donation for each space on their soccer ball. Each soccer ball has 30 spaces, and the donation amounts vary from $5 to $100, totaling $740 – helping you raise money for new uniforms, cleats, goals and nets, tournament travel or field rental.

Everything you need to know about running a fill my fundraiser.
Ideal timing for a Fill My Soccer Ball fundraiser is right before the season (late summer for fall programs, or January and February for spring programs), while anticipation and excitement for the season is growing and support is high, or towards the end of a successful season or playoff run when momentum is high. Even the offseason can be highly successful to fund club fees, indoor training or summer tournament travel for the upcoming year.
Usually, anywhere from a 2-4 week window works best – a short and organized campaign is more effective than a long one. Give it a clear end date.
Book a demo, get your sign-up link, then create your fundraiser and add your roster — Teamfi generates a donation page for each player automatically. A 40-player club program sets up just as fast as a 12-player U10 squad. A few things worth considering:
Soccer fundraising usually means discount cards or a kick-a-thon — both work, and both are what every family has done for three seasons running.
This one is a soccer ball. Players watch their shape fill in with their name on it, and so do donors. That lands differently than a coupon book, especially for the participant who hates asking.
It also runs alongside the season instead of interrupting it. No kick-a-thon day to schedule, no cards to count back in. Launch in preseason and it works while the team trains.
Simple, no-cost fundraising designed for organizations of any size.

We raised nearly $11,000 for our soccer team in just one month using Teamfi’s Calendar Fundraiser. It was by far one of the easiest things I’ve ever managed—and I’ve done a lot of fundraising! We’ll definitely be using it again, not only for soccer but for other teams at our school as well.

Optional tips
How do the digital Fill My Soccer Ball donations work — can someone claim more than one space?
Yes. A donor can claim as many spaces as they want, and their name shows on each one they take (if they choose to leave their name). They can also give a custom amount outside the $5–$100 range if they'd rather. Every donation goes straight to your account through Stripe, so there's no cash to collect or checks to deposit – all soccer ball spaces and custom donations are automatically tracked in real time on your Teamfi fundraiser dashboard.
Can we run a Fill My Soccer Ball alongside our kick-a-thon, calendar, or crowdfunding fundraiser?
You can, though most families give once a season — running two at the same time often means getting half of each. Many soccer teams decide to run a Fill My Soccer Ball fundraiser in the opposite part of the soccer calendar as one of the other digital fundraising options like pick-a-date calendar fundraisers, kick-a-thons, or crowdfunding campaigns.
For example, if your soccer team runs a crowdfunding campaign in the fall during the season, a Fill My Soccer Ball fundraiser could be the perfect option during the spring club season or ahead of summer tournaments.
When should we run a Fill My Soccer Ball fundraiser?
Preseason tends to work well — late summer for fall teams, or late winter for spring teams — when the roster is together most days and anticipation for the season is high. Additionally, the end of a strong season or a playoff run is a good second window because support can be at an all-time high for your soccer team.
In any case, most fill my soccer ball fundraisers can find success in just a 2–4 week campaign – leaving your team with plenty of funds for new alternate kits, training gear to help you on the pitch, or anything else.
What happens if some of the players on our soccer team don't participate?
That is no problem at all – nothing breaks. Your team's fundraiser total is just the sum of what each player raises, so there's no threshold to hit and partial participation still works. West High School Girls Soccer in Knoxville, Tennessee raised $11,049 in just one month with a Teamfi calendar fundraiser – and a Fill My Soccer Ball works the same way, with each player sharing their own link. Grouping participants by position or grade makes it easy to see which units are moving and where a nudge would help.
One way to increase participation is to offer an incentive for funds raised – like a free t-shirt or pizza party – Lexington Christian Football in Lexington, Kentucky even incentivized their players to participate by offering free team-customized gloves. The result? they raised over $40,000.
How do out-of-town family members donate to our Fill My Soccer Ball?
This is the beauty of running a Fill My Soccer Ball fundraiser with Teamfi – it's all digital!
To donate, all anyone needs to do is tap the player's link and claim a space from wherever they are. A lot of soccer's donor base is grandparents, aunts, and uncles following the season from a few states away — the group a paper fundraiser usually can't reach. Players can share their link by text or social in one tap. The best part? If your soccer team is using Teamfi's free automated donor outreach feature, the work is done for you!
