Adjustable Goal For Tiny Tikes

Help me give my students adjustable goals for small kids to play basketball

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Austin's classroom raised $1,968

This project is fully funded

My Project

The item that is listed in this project will go toward my elementary students' school basketball teams. We have been fortunate enough to be able to start an elementary developmental basketball league within our school. However, the basketball goals that we have do not lower to the proper height that we need them to be in order for our little hoopers to have any chance at scoring a potential basket. With this adjustable goal, we will be able to set the goal at a proper height to where students will be able to perform the proper form of a basketball shot, shoot the ball, and actually see the ball go through the hoop. This will give the kids satisfaction of making a shot on a lower goal as opposed to trying to shoot a ball on a 10ft high goal.
