My Project

Gaga ball is a fun, active, energetic way to play at recess. It is for kids of all ages and abilities, and a chance to have fun in a fast-paced environment with friends during recesses or break times.

Gaga Ball is fun for kids of all ages!

I plan to install this Gaga Ball court on the playground at school for kids in grades K-11 to use! Kids from all grades will be able to play with their peers on this court during their own recess time, so K-1 can play together, 2-3, 4-5, and so on.

Please help me bring this exciting game to my school and provide students with a fun way to play!

Mr. Matson will only receive his materials if this project is fully funded by July 26.
