My Project

We are doing wonderful things at GMS and we are looking for physical education equipment to enhance our classes.

We are bringing the classics back; net games like badminton, volleyball, and nitro ball, as well kickball, wiffle ball.

Do you remember what it was like a kid? The portable net system will provide another resource for our students to play smaller games that aren't so intimidating and introducing them to the games we used to play.

The wiffle balls, with the fluorescent yellow color will help our visually impaired students identify the ball against the white wall backdrop. The kickballs will be used for the old fashioned game that everyone loves. Whether it be inside or outside, the joy of the game will be ever present. And the Gator skin balls will be used to play an improved version of the classic dodgeball, with the big difference being the ball being thrown at castle targets as opposed to a person.

Our students are embracing the physical education classes through movement in games; large or small games, they don't really mind running when fun is the key component.
