The students in our school love physical education and one of their favorite sports to play is basketball. Unfortunately, our gymnasium is full of well-loved basketballs and we could really use new basketballs to provide the students with a premium experience. We have students of varying levels and will be teaching the youngest students about the game, and helping the oldest children to further advance their proficiency. Learning how to dribble a basketball, pass and shoot, as well as participate in team activities will all be done using these basketballs. This means that everyone from kindergarten through fourth grade will get the opportunity to use these balls, and because of the popularity of the sport, we use them year-round.
