My Students
I am the Head Coach of the baseball team at our high school. In our area of Tacoma, basketball and football are more accessible for students to play. Students do not have the same opportunities to play baseball. The majority of students that tryout for baseball at our school have either never played formally or have not played since they were in elementary school. The thing that is truly amazing, is that even though their skill level may not be the same as at other schools, our kids kids never give up. They take it in stride and figure out a way to be successful.
My Project
Our team is in need of baseballs. Our boys baseball team plays on a cinder field (honestly the field is a far cry from what a baseball field is suppose to be) so it results in the white baseballs turning into brown baseballs fairly quickly.
At times this can become a safety concern when the balls are more difficult to see because they are no longer white.
It seems as if a team can never have enough baseballs between foul balls and needing games balls, but when you are working against a field that ruins them quickly they go even faster.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
