My Students

There is nothing quite like a night at the ballgame. My classroom is a perfectly manicured field filled with 60 players who live for the game. My hope is that every one of them grows as a player. My wish is that they have fun, playing the game that they love.

My students range in age from 14 to 18.

We have 3 teams, freshman, junior varsity, and varsity. We have a total of 60 players in our program. They are from diverse backgrounds but share a common bond, which is baseball. They arrive each day at school, ready to take on their classes. Over 60% of our players maintain a 3.5 GPA or higher. Once school is finished, they complete their homework and study for any upcoming exams. They workout in the weight room, attend hitting and fielding practices, and play scrimmage games. Our players are all well disciplined young men who are developing strong time management skills. They set a positive example at school and in their community.

My Project

My students will use the baseballs requested for our winter and spring games. It is difficult to imagine the amount of baseballs that we need for a single baseball season. These baseballs will be used for games only. Each game requires a certain amount of new baseballs. We have 3 teams playing winter practice games and a full spring season schedule. It adds up to a tremendous amount of baseballs to keep our program running. Our winter games are just beginning. The players learn how to arrive on time, work together as a team, and put their strongest effort out on the field. They learn to be humble when they win, and to hold their heads up high when they lose.

We are a small community with a very limited budget for sports.

Our families assist with fundraisers throughout the school year. Even with their hard work and dedication we are always in need of the basics, like enough baseballs. With your help, we will have enough baseballs for the winter and spring season.
