The Process
How Buying Works
Three steps from budget to live, in plain English.
Call the League, Not an Agency
Youth boards are volunteers with a treasurer's email. One message in January locks a spring season for a few hundred dollars.
Ask What Stays Up
Many fence banners remain all year, including for other sports and tournaments. That is months of extra visibility for free.
Sponsor Where You Live
Parents hire the businesses that sponsor their kids. Pick the programs inside your actual service radius and stay for years.
