Help Players Secure Personal Items During Practice and Games.

Help me give my students individual locks for their lockers to provide safety for personal belonging to ensure their belongings are safe during practice, home and away games. It is key to ensure our players items are safe.

My Students

Teaching students at the middle school is a wonderful job. I also coach middle school football. We average about 80-110 players each year. Each player brings a different personality and makes my job as a coach fun. It is a joy to have an impact on these young men's lives and see them develop into successful men on and off the field is a true joy of my job. It allows me to understand my role is not just a coach, but a mentor to so many boys from different backgrounds and are looking for a role model or just someone they can talk to when life gets them down.

My Project

When it comes to providing athletes with lockers there is the matter of how do we keep their belongings safe. By providing each player a locker with a specific lock will help ensure their personal belongings and sport-specific items are safe. We strive to create a family atmosphere where players respect each player's items and adding locks will help ensure that those items are not borrowed or taken without permission. Adding locks not only keeps items safe but will also teach these young men responsibility for using a lock and keeping items in their locker where they belong. Please consider helping these players keep their belongings safe and help teach them responsibility.
