My Students

Great community of students that live in a low-income area. Very humble students. We have 2 footballs to work with at this time. They have used these for several years now and would love to have some more footballs so that they can participate at the same time during drills. Your support would be greatly appreciated!

My Project

We will use these footballs to learn basic skills of the game and then transition into using them for flag football once the students are able to master some of the skills needed to play the game in a safe manner. We will be doing throwing drills as well as how to tuck away the football and run once it is in your hands.

Most of the students that I teach are low-income and have probably never owned a football or had the opportunity to learn anything about the game so I think they will love learning new things about this game.
