Help me give my students Spalding basketballs. The high school basketball players will benefit from using these basketballs to enhance their ball-handling skills throughout the season to become better individual players which makes for a stronger team.
These basketball players are enthusiastic and hard-working. They are members of the freshman, sophomore, junior varsity and varsity basketball team at our local high school. Many of these players want to play throughout high school but some want to continue their basketball career in college. Basketball has become more than just something to pass the time but a life long goal to achieve team working and collaboration skills and to become better basketball players.
Our school has almost 1800 students who are mostly from low-income families, there are many things our kiddos come to school needing each day.
My Project
It’s important for a young basketball player to spend time improving his or her basketball skills. To many players, there is nothing more exciting than finding new ways to improve their game. They know that it can give them an edge on their competitors and could be exactly what they need to start the next season off right.
With some hard work on improving their basketball skills in the offseason, they may get more time on the court, better numbers in the stat sheet, and more accolades at season’s end.
Having the best basketballs can help with all of these skills and so much more.
More than half of students from low‑income households
