My Project

Hello everyone!

I am looking to build for the future.

Our basketball team of 12 were mainly comprised of first-time players. They've come a long way during their first season but are looking to go even further. The resources that I'm requesting such as; ankle braces, jump ropes, notebooks & pencils will aid in our player's development in the following ways. It will allow our places to fully protect themselves against injuries, allow them the opportunity to get into game shape, and write down plays, questions or concerns they may have during the off-season to get better.
