Accessorize Volleyball!

Help me give my students some of the items we can use to help our school come to the level that most of others are already!

My Students

We are a Title I school. Title I money can go to math and language arts but not sports programs. We are a very diverse population of lower to middle socioeconomic status, but mostly lower.

Our sports teams are for 7th and 8th graders.

We get virtually no tax dollars to support our sports programs and are looking for some help. Our sports programs are looked down on by others schools we play and I would like to help that change.

We have great spirit and awesome children who need your help! Thank you for your support!

My Project

Most of the volleyball teams in our district are able to get their funds through tax credit money. We do not get that for our sports programs at our Title I school. We need some help with the little things to get to the level of the other schools.

The accessories for the volleyball program are what we need to bring us to the next level and make the players feel like they are worthy of winning.The items listed here are for helping to get our net tight, as it should be, to keep the poles from falling to the ground or on someone when stored, and so that the line judges can be seen more easily by the referee: Tandem Elite Official''s Kit, Tandem Volleyball Net Tension Straps, Porter Volleyball Standard Wall Storage, Tandem Covered Net Tightener.

We appreciate any and all help that you can give us. Our teams often do not fell that they are good enough when we do not have the right equipment and this would be an excellent help!
