Ah, the joys of Top Ten lists. Here’s another Top Ten list of ways you can get involved with the Fair Trade Sports team.

1. Buy a t-shirt and send us your photo;  we’ll post them on our Flickr account. Show everyone in your town what Respect means!
2. Give us feedback on our line of products. For instance, do we have the type and size of sports balls that you need? 
3. Use our Tell-a-Friend page to send messages to friends near and far encouraging them to give “gifts that give back” this holiday season (we hate spam as much as you do; your information is safe with us). Or if you prefer, use Amazon’s Tell-a-Friend feature through Alexa to do the same.
4. Start discussions in the comments sections of our posts or continue to dialogue with us via email.
5. Whatever your skill set, put it to work for the Fair Trade movement and help us tell our story via film or Flash. You could make FTS ad tiles - like the one you see to the right - for your MySpace or campus web pages. Or a normal banner ad, an e-card, a sticker, a poster, or whatever else your brain thinks of. When you think of Fair Trade,  Respect, and sports, what do you see? Feel free to use our brand elements. Send us your stuff and we’ll feature them on our sites as well! Here’s a good example.

6. Link to us from one of these community groups: Lime, Tribe, Facebook, or MySpace.
7. Order a set of Ambassadors of Respect cards (they are FREE) to write your name on and hand out to folks you know: coaches, sports store owners, even your mom.
8. Design your own Fair Trade sports ball. We’ll pick the best design every three months and produce the next set of balls based on your design…and in addition to massive amounts of fame, you get a free ball, of course. When you think about your favorite sports, Fair Trade, and Respect, what kind of design do you see? Sketch out your thoughts and fax it to us, send us a digital photo, or use this template in Illustrator, PhotoShop, or your favorite design application. Have fun!
9. Get a pack of our stickers and plaster them everywhere. Er…plaster them everywhere in a responsible manner, of course.   :)
10. Put on a Fair Trade Tournament in your town, with your favorite sport, and encourage everyone to be training and competing with a Fair Trade sports ball.

As always, feel free to send us your own ideas in the comments section below or via email.
