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.

Cleats play a crucial role in enabling students to participate in after-school sports and physical activities. Whether it's soccer, football, or any other outdoor sport, having the proper footwear is essential for ensuring both safety and performance. Cleats are designed with spikes or studs that provide traction on grass or turf, helping to prevent slips and falls. This reduces the risk of injuries, such as sprains or twisted ankles, which are common when playing on slippery or uneven surfaces without the proper footwear.
In addition to safety, cleats contribute to a student's performance.
The grip they provide allows athletes to move quickly and change direction with ease, crucial for sports like soccer and football. By wearing cleats, students can perform at their best, making the most of their skills and enhancing their enjoyment of the activity.
Furthermore, cleats promote inclusion. Students who do not have access to proper sports gear may feel left out or discouraged from participating. Providing cleats ensures that all students have the opportunity to engage in after-school activities, regardless of their financial situation. This fosters a sense of community and equality, helping every student feel confident and empowered to join in.
In conclusion, cleats are not just a necessity for safety and performance, but they also encourage full participation in after-school activities, promoting physical well-being, confidence, and inclusion among students.
