Ms. Shane Wells from Knoxville TN is requesting sports & exercise equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

My Students

Coaching basketball has been a blessing. Our team is diverse and from many different backgrounds. We feel we have built our team around quality young men that want to represent our school, their families, and our basketball program with class and effort.

My Project

Our basketball program is in current need of new basketballs. We have used basketballs that have lost their grip, become slippery, and started losing the leather.

New basketballs would provide our program of 40 players on three different teams (varsity,JV, and freshman) to have quality equipment to practice and play games.

We would greatly appreciate the support of our program and the program we are trying to build. Dribbling and shooting are the two most important skills in basketball and these basketballs would not only be an upgrade from the balls we currently use but would also give us a 2:1 player/ball ratio.

We thank you for taking the time to donate and help with our goal.
