In the 2017-2018 school year, thirty-two students signed up to participate in the Football program at our school. However, we struggled to train and play with limited, ill-fitting jerseys and NO TRAINING EQUIPMENT. As the only female head football coach in the district, I have always strived to teach my players to push through challenging games and life events with hard work. We ended the last season 0 - 8, but we made it to the playoffs, where we scored our very first touchdown of the season! This season, I would like to show them that their hard work and persistence was not in vain by providing equipment for them to begin mastering the skill of football and team practice jerseys to unify and escalate the intensity of our practices. They deserve it! I truly believe that these items will support the overall strength of the football program for years to come.
