STREET BALL KING PLANNING hosted by______________

1. Determine the ages and genders for the tournament participants. The younger age groups will typically bring more people to your event. Determine the approximate number of teams you would like to have participated. This will help to guide the location and logistics of the tournament.

2. Choose a location. Outdoor locations can attract more people and provide for more fund-raising opportunities, but they also introduce unpredictability, as the event's success hinges on weather and playing conditions.

3. Recruit volunteers. The volunteers can come from many sources. If you are running this as a fund raiser, the beneficiaries of the funds would be a great volunteer pool. Also, look to the local high school basketball players who need to fulfill volunteer hours or those who would just like to help.

4. Solicit sponsors. Target companies that are a good fit with the purpose of the event or that fit the demographics of the tournament. Get the sponsors early so they can fully benefit from the promotion of the tournament. Sponsors can provide support in many ways such as sponsoring a basket and pay for the T-shirts. In return for their support, their company name/logo would be visible to the tournament participants and shown on all promotional materials. It is a win-win in most cases.
