My Project

I would like to request new basketballs and pop-up blockers for my scholars. The current ones have seen better days, and fresh equipment would greatly benefit our students in their physical education classes. My students love playing basketball, and they want to build their skill levels in hopes of making the school basketball team. Some new basketballs will greatly enhance their abilities to do this.

My hope is to get new basketballs so that my Physical Education classes can use them to better understand the game and get a feel of playing with the ball.

New basketballs with the use of pop-up blockers will help the students with their ball handling, dribbling, and shooting.
