My Project

My student-athletes have been working hard to prepare for our third basketball season. Some of the players have never played on a basketball team. They are excited to be the first basketball team at our school. As you know basketball is a lot of running back and forth on the court and dribbling. I would like our athletes to improve their skills as a basketball player by giving everyone their very own basketball and a draw string bag to transport it..

Team sports can be beneficial to students.

Sports teach teamwork, preparation, practice, sportsmanship, and leadership and promotes school spirit and school spirit that extends to the classroom. My student-athletes will be prepared to give their all on the basketball court as a team. Please me provide all of the tools (basketballs and bags) for the athletes to succeed. I believe that we can get there with your help.
