My Students

My players are very special. They come into the gym every time that we have practice and they go to work. They haven't had the best season, but it is not because of a lack of hard-work. My players are all mostly in 10th and 11th grade. They have a lot of time before their time is up. If they had the proper equipment, they would be set up for a successful next couple of years. This would also help the next generation coming up.

My Project

My players could better themselves with this equipment. The heavy balls would help them with passing and catching. The resistance bands would help them on defensive slides and blocking out. The basketballs would help on dribbling and shooting. Lastly the parachute would help them on their speed. With all of the following this addressed the team would be better off than they have ever been. The players already have a great work ethic but without better equipment they won't go as far as they can. This equipment would be a great blessing to my current and future players. Basketball player are not born, they are made one day at a time, one shot, one lap, one jump at a time.
