My Students

My student-athletes are aspiring and veteran baseball players that come from two different schools. As a new coaching staff, we are working tirelessly to build the baseball program to the same standards of college programs.

These players are highly dedicated, practicing both late at night during the week and early in the mornings on weekends, all while balancing rigorous schoolwork.

The players come to practice each day with both enthusiasm and excitement as we prepare for the season to come.

My Project

The baseballs that our program has have been battered, scratched and no longer have a white shine to them. It is fair to say that the balls we do have, have seen more than their fair share of games and batting practices.

High school rules state that the program must provide new and unused game official balls in order to be able to play in games

We are looking to generous donations to help us be able to accumulate the number of balls necessary to get us through an entire season that is jam-packed with games. Thank you for your help!
