Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

High school sports improve academic success, physical fitness, teamwork, leadership and the ability to succeed. Our girls needs constant encouragement of their personal growth and that they can improve their skills with hard work and determination. I am trying to teach the skills they need so that it can become a talent.

Our softballs have small tears and scratches on them, they've had better days.

Equipment gets handed down to each team by seniority. Varsity gets the best, JV gets the used materials and c-team gets the left overs. I would give two buckets of balls to c-team, 1 to JV and the last one to varsity. The waffle balls will allow me to create more stations for drills. The ball holder will speed up our drills.

Thank you so much for supporting our program!
