My Project

Our players work on their own and as a team several hours a day many times throughout the week so that they can improve their skills in order to compete against much larger schools. Fortunately our team will be allowed to travel to a basketball camp this year where players get to stay the night on a college campus. This is an opportunity that our players have not had since COVID. Not only will they get to experience teams from many different districts across our state, they will get to experience some variety of skill levels so that they can better prepare for a successful season.

Providing our players with necessary items, such as a small drawstring backpack to carry from gym to gym, hygiene products, and laundry detergent so that they can wash their practice jerseys and uniforms will alleviate some of the stress from the parents and coaches.

We want the girls to have what they need so that they can concentrate on playing basketball and competing with bigger teams. Parents are paying for their girls to attend this camp so that they can get better at the game. Help this wonderful team of young, determined players have a few extras that they could definitely use.
