Get Ready for Some Softball! New Equipment for Softball!

Help me give my students a refreshing softball unit for spring 2025 with some new balls and bats for softball.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Yarusso's classroom raised $1,058

My Project

This equipment will continue to enhance the physical education classroom that I strive to create. My classroom is a place that my students really enjoy; they also learn sportsmanship and how to be a team player. Students will learn the game of softball and play a tournament. Theses supplies are necessary to play the game of softball safely.

This new equipment will start off the softball unit with a bang!

Aside from volleyball, my students really love softball. The new equipment will spruce up the equipment that we have. The students will be excited!
