Coaching With a Passion

Help me give my students soccer and track and field gear/equipment! As an inner city coach it can be difficult to keep athletes committed to sports. Getting them the supplies they need to be successful can help!

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

I hope this letter finds you well. As a dedicated coach with a deep passion for soccer and track, I am reaching out to kindly request your support in providing essential sports equipment for our athletes. Your generosity can make a significant impact on their training and performance.

We are in need of the following items to enhance our training sessions and competitions:

Soccer balls

Cones for agility drills

Practice shirts for team identification

Shin guards for player safety

Track timer for accurate timing

Relay batons for relay race practice

Starting Blocks to improve PR times

By donating these items, you will not only support our athletes in achieving their goals but also contribute to the growth and success of our sports program. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated by our athletes, coaching staff, and the entire sports community.

Thank you for considering our request. Your support means the world to us and will undoubtedly make a difference in the lives of our dedicated athletes.
