Go Biggie or Go Home

My students need the 3 Gopher balls to help enhance their volleyball skills. They will have more time to get to the ball and a bigger diameter to hit causing them to be more successful.

My Students

I teach in a township school of Indianapolis, IN. Many of my students are living in poverty and rely on school to take their mind off of the home situations that are out of their control. The students I teach are a bright group of students who are always working hard and enjoy trying new activities. Due to budgeting within our school system our schools have little access to resources so these students often get bored with classic teaching techniques.

My Project

The Biggie Volleyball balls will help enhance the students' performance for volleyball. Many students do not have any volleyball skills and have a hard time controlling a normal size volleyball. This Biggie Balls will help with their hand-eye coordination because it will give them a larger target to hit. The ball also comes at a slower speed which will help with their reaction time.

The Biggie Balls will also give them another way to play the game of volleyball.

We currently have 1 Biggie Ball but multiple courts and all the students seem to always want to play with the Biggie Ball because it makes the game more enjoyable.
