Thanks to the generous donations of others in the past, we have been able to grow our in-house "soccer club" into an officially recognized Public Schools Athletic League soccer team. The growth of our program has also led to the growth of a new girls soccer program. So now we have double the soccer players, but the same amount of soccer balls. Moreover, many of our soccer balls have become unfit for use through wear and tear. I wish that our budget could cover something so basic, but as the new Athletic Director, I am working with a small budget that must be shared among 5 teams. Our hard working boys and girls teams need soccer balls that aren't coming apart at the seams. The new girls program will also benefit from sharing needed practice equipment such as cones and scrimmage jerseys. Hopefully you already understand the value of athletics in providing valuable lessons and opportunities for inner-city youth and can help many young men and women receive the equipment they need to compete, excel, and grow through sport.
