My Students

A typical day at our baseball field starts with two teams showing up for practice, ready to work on the game that they love.

The students on the baseball team come to practice, every day, wanting to learn and improve.

Many of the student-athletes in our baseball program compete in baseball year round. The equipment that they use for practice takes a beating. The students at my school are hardworking student-athletes, striving to do the best they can, on and off the field. They come to the field every day, ready to learn and improve. The school that they attend is a diverse school, full of students from many different backgrounds and cultures.

My Project

The student-athletes in the baseball program work very hard to develop their skills. One thing that they are missing is a place to properly warm-up before games, and a place where more students can be practicing during practice. A batting cage! We have already taken the steps to prepare the space for this new batting cage, but we need some help with offsetting the cost for some of the required items. This new practice space will give the student-athletes a place to work on the sport they love.
