Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Help me give my students Tigers Volleyball Team new volleyballs and volleyball cart.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The Tigers Volleyball Team doesn't have their own set of volleyballs. They have to use volleyballs from the PE department. I would like to get 14 volleyballs and a volleyball cart that will only be used for the volleyball team and will be in great condition.

The Tigers Volleyball Team has lots of alumni that play on different high school volleyball teams around the area.

Most of the students can't afford to play club volleyball and having enough volleyballs will help them develop the skills they need to become great student-athletes for many more years. Volleyball has become one of the top sports at my school.

The players are working hard this spring to get ready for volleyball for next season. The students have not had a chance to play on the volleyball team for the past 2 years due to COVID-19 and we are ready to get back to our winning ways on and off the court.
