Some volleyball teams are better funded than others. Our volleyball team is pretty well funded. We have a huge fundraiser towards the middle of the season, and we have a small one near the beginning. The fundraisers pay for our equipment, refs, and so on. But if we want to get matching bags, or something along those lines, then we have to pay for it out of our pocket.
And some of the funds from the football games go to both volleyball and softball. The volleyball team works the consession stand at the football games, so we get some of the consession stand money, also. The softball team works the basketball consession stand, and they get some of that money. There's also a "tip jar" that we set out during football and basketball games, so we can earn a little extra money.
At our school, all the sports seem to help each other out with funding, so it all works out pretty well. thumb
