The materials for this project will assist my students with feeling like they belong. The backpacks will be used to store their uniforms when they are not playing a game, and to store their clothes in when they are playing a game. Since most of them have to use public transportation to get to the game, the backpack is a necessity. The socks are designed to provide a proper fit when wearing basketball shoes. Proper fitting shoes decreases the chance of injuries to the students. The basketballs will be used to scrimmage during practice and for warm-ups before our games. "Apart from education, you need good health and for that you need to play sports." --Kapil Dev. Being healthy is important. Playing a sport like basketball provides my students with a healthy workout for growing young boys. Sports also builds character, teamwork, and opportunities for better grades. My students can use character and teamwork in the classroom. These materials will assist my students in building the necessary skills to be success on and off the court.
