My Project

Soccer is the most popular sport in the world and is played in most countries. Here at our high school, we have a large Hispanic population that loves to play soccer. Many of these students are newcomers to the United States and want to be involved in extracurricular activities. We are in need of the equipment to play. These soccer balls will allow multiple students to work on skills at the same time and have the required NFHS-approved balls for games. Being able to participate in organized sports has an enormous impact on these students. At our school, many of our students come from single-parent or low-income homes, with limited transportation and income. Over 85% are economically disadvantaged. Thank you for supporting our soccer team with the soccer balls to have a successful program.
