Equipment Needed to Help Build a Successful Primary Basketball Team.

Help me give my students basketball equipment. I am a first year coach grades 3-5 and I have no equipment to teach the kids basketball skills and help build a successful team. Thank you very much in advance.

My Project

I have a strong passion and love for teaching young people. I’ve been a primary PE coach for 3 years now, but this is my first time coaching basketball. I love helping kids and watching them grow and develop, especially in sports. I also enjoy teaching them great core values on how to develop great character as well. I don’t have any equipment besides two worn basketball’s. The equipment that’s needed are:

1.

7 Spalding Rookie Gear Youth Basketballs

2. Defensive Mannequin

3. GoSports Blocking Pads

4. Kingarage Ball Storage Cart

5. CHAMPRO Hardwood Floor Shoe Traction Mat for Basketball Court

6. Performance Grip Spray for Basketball Shoes – Shoe Sole Protector Boosts Traction

7. Basketball Coaching Board Coaches Clipboard Tactical Magnetic Board Kit

8. DQL Pack of 3, Basketball Training Equipment aids for Kids Beginners, Basketball Shooting Trainer

9. Mesh Basketball Equipment Bag

Having the equipment would be a tremendous help to me and my students in learning and building a successful basketball team along with my regular students when I begin teaching the basketball unit. Thank you so much and I greatly appreciate your help.
