Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Our varsity girls participate in about THIRTY-FIVE games. These young ladies are preparing for a tough schedule and will paying in about TEN games more than last season. They need shoes that would help protect their feet while at play. They do a lot of running, sudden stops, diving, quick turns and more. With that being said, volleyball shoes wear out fast and you cant continue to wear a shoe that is not in good standards.

Shoes play a critical role: they protect our feet, help prevent injury and more.

Shoes in sports have to work even harder for the athletes wearing them,, to help improve performance for the different people and sports environment that they’re used in. There’s a whole lot of science packed into those small packages! Shoes worn for volleyball have flatter, rubber soles that provide greater grip. The overall weight of the shoe and what the shoe is made of all help athletes in different ways. Please help us protect our girls with good shoes that will protect them through the volleyball season.
