Not only am I an educator, I am also the Middle School Volleyball coach at a small but fierce public charter school. As a woman coming from a sports background myself, I know the importance of sports in a child's life. It isn't just about finding a hobby. Being a part of a team builds values and character that are essential to a child's development into adult life. It teaches them resilience, hard work, dedication and perseverance. Having new basketballs and volleyballs would open up a brand new world to these children. They aren't use to seeing their school colors represented on equipment (which in our gym have mostly been hand me down) and the pride that comes with playing with "your" colors. Some of them don't know the feeling of playing with a brand new basketball and how confidence can grow just by feeling that soft leather. We are a small school and our sports program is still growing, but the middle school girls and boys pour their hearts into each practice and each game. They inspire me to be a better version of myself everyday on and off of the court. It would be nice to be able to give them the tools that they need so they can be as successful as possible. Thank you and many blessings to you all!
