ABOUT US
WE’VE BEEN IN THE GRIND FOR 15 YEARS
OUR STORY
The Sidelines Perks concept started as a conversation amongst parents who spent a lot of time and a lot of their paychecks to fund their children's sports aspirations. The expense of gear as they grow would mean annual replacements. And their dedication to their chosen sport would mean traveling to competitions. This is where our fundraising efforts shifted. We often found that we would put in maximum effort with smaller profit margins. We wanted to create an alternative solution that would mutually benefit our fundraiser goal, as well as create additional savings. All while supporting local establishments in our community. Sideline Perks started as a fundraising effort, but the success turned it into something more.
Because we were constantly raising money to fund out of state tournaments, we developed a larger concept. Beyond the team fees, we as the family would have to save in order to secure accommodations, transportation, food, entertainment for siblings, etc. We found ourselves searching for deals and decided we would expand beyond our local markets and also target tournament destinations to apply our concept to a savings model when we travel.
Sideline Perks is a membership program that aims to serve the families and fans of youth sports. We are parents of dreamers and doers. We understand the dedication and aim to ease the financial burden of the lifestyle.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY

SPORTS PROGRAM:
HIGHSCHOOL BASKETBALL
We wanted to host a tournament and thought it would be cool to presell Sideline Perks to our fans and competition as a way to raise more money. People who were visiting our area loved it because they could use their member card to try new places and get a discount. Great idea and easy to run!

I coach a 14u team who gets a small budget every year. We wanted to do an out of state tournament at Diamond Nation, but it would be mostly out of pocket. SP set us up quickly with a fundraiser and walked us through the process. It was easy and we made more than our original goal.
