Future All-Stars

Help me give my students basketballs and cones to use during practice and games!

My Project

I recently took on the elementary girls basketball coaching job at my school. It was a last minute decision because we needed a coach and were one week away from the first game. To my surprise we had a large turnout of 22 girls! We are currently borrowing a small number basketballs but those will soon be unavailable. I am hoping to provide the team and future boys and girls teams at our school with balls and cones to use, so whether I am the coach or someone else is the coach, nobody has to hunt for balls or buy them. We truly appreciate your support of our project and our team. These children are very excited to participate in basketball, some for the very first time, and they will be elated to receive enough balls to all practice their developing skills at the same time.
