My Project

As the volleyball coach, it is my responsibility to teach my girls the skills of the game and prepare them to compete safely and to the best of their ability.

Volleyball is booming in popularity in our school.

Many girls try out for the team, never having any playing experience, other than what they learned in physical education class. I try to teach them the skills to be successful, as well as the confidence to continue their athletic careers in high school and beyond.

Our net has holes and sags and needs to be replaced. The spiking tool and jump ropes will help with skill development and conditioning, agility, and footwork, and the ball cart will help us stay organized.
