My Project

EJHS has made tremendous strides in athletic performance. Data provides unrefutably evidence that students are leaving EJHS stronger and faster.

We have spent a considerable amount of time learning the various weight lifting movements like a squat, bench, and deadlift.

We can track and measure our progress. Students love the ability to see their progress and forecast and goal set for future accomplishments.

I want to expand our trackable progress by purchasing the vertical jump tester. We have worked on our jumping through various plyometric activities, but we lack the ability to specifically measure how we are improving. The vertical jump tester is functional for all grade levels. We can quickly adjust the height if we are working with 6th graders and increase the height for those who working on their ability to touch the basketball rim.
