My Project
As the second half of the volleyball season approaches, the physical demands on our athletes increase significantly. Fatigue, muscle tightness, and minor injuries can hinder performance and even lead to long-term setbacks. Foam rollers and Thera guns are essential tools for recovery, helping to alleviate soreness, improve flexibility, and prevent injuries. By incorporating these products into our routine, players can maintain peak physical condition, stay on the court, and compete at their best. Additionally, as a Title 1 school, many of our students rely on school-provided resources for proper nutrition. Granola bars for traveling will ensure they have the energy to perform academically and athletically without the distraction of hunger during long bus rides to games.
Our primary goal is to keep our student-athletes healthy, energized, and focused throughout the season.
Access to recovery tools like foam rollers and Thera guns will teach them the importance of self-care and injury prevention—skills that extend beyond sports into lifelong wellness. Proper nutrition, through snacks like granola bars, will help stabilize their energy levels, improving concentration in the classroom and performance on the court. By supporting their physical well-being, we also foster discipline, teamwork, and resilience, all of which contribute to their overall academic and personal growth.
Our volleyball team is made up of hardworking, dedicated students who balance rigorous academics with the demands of competitive athletics. Many come from low-income backgrounds and face daily challenges, yet they show up with determination and a drive to succeed. Providing them with these resources isn’t just about enhancing their game—it’s about showing them that their health and effort are valued. When we invest in their recovery and nutrition, we empower them to push through obstacles, build confidence, and achieve their full potential both on and off the court.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
