Help me give my students the items they'll need to further there talents in basketball, we train everyday to become better athletics on and off the court, just need these items to help perfect fundamentals.
I coach elementary basketball at a school in Port Arthur, TX. I have three basketball teams here, girls team, boys A team, and boys B team. My kids all come from difficult neighborhoods around the city. We have a great group of kids who are very athletic with high hopes and dreams for success. Our Girls, Boys A and Boys B teams have had back-to-back Championships here, so the kids look forward to the season every year.
The game of Basketball to my students is not just a sport for them, it's family away from family, or maybe the love the kids don't receive at home.
It keeps grades up and behavior together in class.
My Project
These materials are well needed, from learning the proper ways to slide and separate you legs while playing defense, as well as holding your arms wide while moving your feet. A lot of kids don't understand the purpose of the technique but with the equipment will help back up my strategies.
Teaching skill and fundamentals without the proper equipment can be a little frustrating at times but as instructors we don't give up on them we take and do anything and everything possible to make things happen.
Our kids are learning everyday, some slower than others but they are coming together. Everyday we will do everything possible to use the equipment to make our kids understand the importance of the strategies we use.
