Basketball Shooting Machine for BGS

Help me give my students a basketball shooting machine that is essential for our basketball teams. This will allow us to monitor and track individual and team shooting, and also make practice more effective.

My Project

The basketball program has a rich tradition at BGS. The teams try to compete at the highest level possible. The basketball team is made up of high character students. They work hard at practice and in the classroom. Each kid has a special place in my heart.

A basketball shooting machine is essential to help my basketball program grow, develop, and compete.

The basketball shooting machine would allow us to monitor individual and team shooting. The machine would also help with rebounding and passing. Overall the machine will allow us to be so much more productive and efficient to get the most out of each individual and team. My players will love being able to keep up with progress but also get immediate feedback on what they need to work on.
