Bump, Set, Spike!

Help me give my students portable volleyball nets to expand their knowledge and skills in the sport!

FULLY FUNDED! Coach Oliver's classroom raised $1,166

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

This equipment would allow our students to play on several nets at once.

Some of our Physical Education classes are very large so it's hard to show 80+ students how to play a real game of volleyball on one net.

If we had portable nets I could set them up across the gym to run several games at once which would provide more opportunity for more students to get some playing time.

Many of our students have never played volleyball but this would help us expand their knowledge of the sport for years to come.

Thank you so much!
