My Project

This program has run for seven years at our Upper Elementary. The goal of this program is to introduce the 6th-grade girls to the game of volleyball and prepare them for the middle school tryout process.

Volleyball has risen in popularity here in the school district and the goal of this project is to have the best functioning equipment to help these girls learn the game of volleyball correctly and safely.

Over the years our equipment has aged and we require replacing a few of our items. We keep our equipment in well working order, however, time can wear on these items and eventually, they do need replacing from time to time. With the increased numbers to the club each year we need to add to the inventory of volleyballs and a cart so that we have a ball for each young athlete.
