Help Us Compete With The Elite Football Programs In NYC

My students need football agility dummies for speed and quickness development through drills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Cialdella's classroom raised $1,610

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students share the same diversity which makes up NYC. They come from all walks of life. My student athletes are special due to commitment to academics and athletics. Two schools (one Specialized and one Vocational) come together to bring us one of the best sports programs in NYC. We have students who travel from all 5 boroughs to attend both schools. Currently we have 13 student-athletes who attend our campuses from a borough other than Staten Island. Their commitment to athletic-academic success is second to none.

My Project

One area where our football players struggle is with agility and quickness. These materials will make a difference in the overall athletic development of our student athletes. Currently our football field equipment is 15 years old and falling apart. With your help, we can upgrade our field equipment and help us develop our student-athletes.

Help us to help our kids by modernizing our football field equipment and keep us moving forward with our football program.

These football dummies will be used to develop agility, quickness and awareness on the football field in practice. This will translate to success on game day.
