Eagles Volleyball Upgrade

Help me give my students essential volleyball equipment and tools necessary to win.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. O.'s classroom raised $1,851

This project is fully funded

Celebrating 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

Help me provide our Eagle students with updated volleyball resources for our varsity, sophomore, freshmen and AC (7th/8th grade) girls and boys teams. Our school has been in need of upgraded equipment/training resources to improve conditioning, mental IQ, court awareness, and fundamental instruction with a more effective approach to help our athletes compete at a stronger level and regain placement into the gold bracket. We have coaches providing instruction 5 days a week in the morning from 6:15am - 7:45am as well as in the afternoons from 3:15pm - 6:00pm. When budgets are tight, sports suffer first. Please help us with this minimum upgrade request for resources for all our levels of volleyball.
