This will be my first year as the head varsity baseball coach, and I am looking to impact the program with essential practice equipment immediately. I anticipate the baseball program will be adding up to 14 more student-athletes than the past year, so the need for new/more equipment is imperative to the team's success. Our current baseballs are becoming worn, and some water-logged from prolonged use outdoors. These practice items will allow our team to prepare for the rigors of a high school baseball season effectively and safely. These are quality products built to last several seasons and can be used year-round. Please consider donating to set our program up for success in 2022. Thank you!
