Baseball Equipment for Middle School Baseball Club

Help me give my students baseball equipment to teach them the fundamentals of baseball.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Dykstra's classroom raised $1,267

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am looking to start a baseball for beginners' club at my middle school. Many students at our school have a desire to learn and play baseball, but they have limited OR no experience with the sport. Unfortunately, youth baseball is expensive and many of our families can't afford to sign their kids up for baseball.

In order to teach our student-athletes the fundamentals of baseball they will need basic equipment (gloves, safety balls, helmets, and bats).

Acquiring this equipment will help get our baseball club up and running.

With gratitude.

Mr. Dykstra Wangenheim Middle School Grades 6-8
