Our boys' and girls' athletes are determined and hard-working. They put more into learning the game and developing as players more than most. They are all seventh and eighth-graders. They are enthusiastic and energetic. We are in a rural area with no outdoor parks or places to play football or basketball except in the school setting.
They want to become better athletes but do not always have the funds to pay for what they need to improve their skills.
School budgets are spread thin with physical education and athletics the last to receive funding.
My Project
We have great kids in our school district and we try to get them the equipment needed so that they can have as many participate in sports at our school.
We need six Wilson Evolution Basketballs for this coming season.
We have two teams that will be using this equipment for practice as well as games. The more basketballs you have the more players and students you can have involved. The basketballs will be used for sill development such as ball handling, passing, and shooting during practice. They will also be used for playing games.
With your help, we can get the much need equipment for our kids to practice and play games this coming season.
