Here's How You Can Support Your Favorite Sports Team

Very few people have the opportunity to play for their favorite sports teams, but there are ways in which you can still support them. Be it the Chicago Bulls or the Dallas Cowboys, you can do more than just sit on the sofa and watch them play.

How so? Let’s break it down:

What You Wear

Imagine the look on your favorite players’ faces when they see you in a baseball or football shirt that represents them or their team. It might just spur them on to play harder when they know you’re standing in the wings cheering them on. The clothing you wear can be unofficial but you might want to wear official merchandise too. The money you spend will go towards the team or to one of their chosen charities, so this is another way you can show your support.

Donate to Team's Charity

Buying merchandise is one way to support a team’s charity but you can also make donations directly. Consider the New York Mets Foundation as one notable example. They do much to serve the needs of children and families in underserved neighborhoods and communities, and your money will be going to a very honorable cause if you choose to donate. Visit the website of the team you support and find out what they are doing to support the needs of others. You should find details of their chosen charity on their website so give as much as you are able.

Promote Team to Others

You could create a blog with the intention of writing about your favorite sports team. And you could provide links to their games and their website on social media. You could also highlight the charities they support and the requests they sometimes make to their fans when you’re writing about them online.

By letting other people know about the team you support, you might generate a whole new legion of fans for them. Players sometimes take notice of what their fans are doing, so if what you create goes viral, you might even get to meet your favorite player. You might also get a free seat at their next game! There are endless opportunities that could rise from this method.

Send Kids to Camps

Summer is on the way and you will no doubt be looking for things for your kids to do. For many young people, summer camps are often the place to be, and it might be that you’re considering one of these for the junior members of your family. Admittedly, things could be difficult this year for obvious world-shattering reasons, but if a summer camp is still possible, consider those offered by your favorite sports team. Check out this basketball camp provided by the Philadelphia 76ers as an example.

These are just a few of the things you can to support your chosen sports team, but we’re sure you can think of a few more ideas too! Preordering your season tickets will likely be the thing that’s predominantly on your mind but consider getting in touch with your team if you’re stuck for ideas. Ask them what you can do to support them as we’re sure they will appreciate the love and care you show as a fan!
