My Students

I am the new baseball coach at HVA. I have been so blessed to get the opportunity to teach these kids. My kids LOVE to work. They are always trying to get better. They come in and hit in our facility as often as they can. However, they do not have the proper equipment to be able to work. Our tees do not function. This prevents our students from being able to get the practice they need.

My Project

This project is for a lot of different small and big items. Our program has been hit really hard this year with Covid. We were not able to fundraise like we normally would. This has prevented us from being able to purchase a lot of items we normally need for practice due to lack of funds.

This equipment is drastically needed in our program.

We will use the baseballs for every day practice. We will use the t-shirts, polos, hats, and jackets to practice with on a daily basis. We are also wanting to add pitching machines to our program so that we can get the maximum training for our baseball players.
