Help me give my students durable basketballs to improve their skills through focused drills, game-speed training, and competitive practice environments.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
These basketballs will stop us from playing “guess which ball is flat” and help them actually practice like pros. Plus, the pop-up defenders will give them someone to blame when they miss a shot.
I love my students because they bring hustle, heart, and sometimes a little bit of chaos to every practice — which keeps me on my toes!
With all this energy, I’m pretty sure I’m the one who needs the pop-up defenders the most—especially when I try to show a move and end up tripping over air. These resources will help my team sharpen their skills and confidence while I work on keeping up without falling flat on my face!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
