Help Replace Worn Out PE Equipment

Help me give my students the ability to work on many different skills using these foam balls.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Archer's classroom raised $449

This project is fully funded

My Project

We are looking to start to replace our worn out PE equipment. One of the pieces of equipment that gets used the most are foam balls. With this increased use, many of them start to get ripped and can not be used. The Champion Sports Rhino Skin Basic Dodge Ball will allow our students to work on many different skills through out the school year. This is a great tool to use to work on hand-eye coordination and eye tracking by using them to toss and catch. It helps build accuracy skills by using the ball to roll or throw at a pin. It is also a great tool to us to work on kicking skills.
