As the coach of our school volleyball team, it causes me great discomfort for my girls to not have necessary equipment! My girls often feel embarrassed about the quality of our equipment when attending other schools for away games and also when schools come to our home gym to play. Having new knee pads will help my players feel more confident when competing, and will help us be more productive during practice and competitive during games.
Because we are a economically disadvantaged school, we are given new uniforms and equipment every 5 years. My girls share knee pads because we don't have enough for all the players. We also are in need of volleyballs. We currently have a few, but need more in order for each player to have a ball during practice. Having enough volleyballs will make drills and other practice activities much easier and efficient. Having a ball cart would benefit us with safely storing and transporting our volleyballs. Having enough equipment for each student-athlete to have access to during practice and games, will help foster a sense of pride in our program and our team.
