My Project

My students love a fun game of Gaga Ball; and a portable / inflatable ball pit is all that is missing to make set up feasible to pull out and use with so many activities happening in our gym. The EzyRoller Drifter ride on racers are the perfect addition our existing equipment, which will help to accommodate our large classes. All students get a full workout on leg days and all the fun to go with it. Between the two requests, our students are certain to experience unending physical activities, encourage skill sets, and mix in a little sweat to boot!
