My Project

Kids love being active and socially engaged with their peers. I would like to introduce the games of volleyball and badminton with equipment for beginners. This equipment will help teach students the basic skills with ease. For my younger students, the Air Lite volleyball will float in the air giving them time to get under the ball and hit it with ease without fear of making a mistake.

This equipment will help build confidence and add a level of fun with their friends!

My students enjoy playing volleyball and badminton. Badminton is a fun sport for all levels of play. The tennis rackets are light and durable to keep students engaged with their peers.

My goal is to offer my students a variety of different sized equipment to help them be successful in their ability to play with their peers in competitive play.
