My Students

My student-athletes are from all over the city of Columbus, Ohio. Of our 20 athletes that were on our team last year, we were a mix of different ethnicity and religion. Our kids worked hard in the classroom to improve their grades during our season, they worked hard in helping our school with younger students by tutoring in reading and they looked out for each other all season by sharing rides and hanging out on the weekends to build a team relationship.

The girls desperately want to play and compete in front of a home crowd and without the proper volleyball system, they won't get the chance.

The girls have worked hard and have had to travel for every game the past two seasons and I only hope that they get a chance to play here at CA next season.

My Project

If we are able to complete this donation, our girls will be able to host games and tournaments at our school. We have only been able to travel to play games and not playing in front of their school and fans have bothered them. We have also had to use makeshift volleyball nets in order to practice which leaves us at a disadvantage.

I hope that with this volleyball court and net system, our girls will start off their season with a passion and excitement that we have not seen yet.

I know that playing in front of your home fans can be so much fun from my experience and I hope I can give them that same experience.
