My Project

With the new restrictions never before seen in sports due to Covid-19, we are all having to rethink the way we have practiced and played games in softball. Our state now requires individual water bottles and towels for each player on our softball team. These water bottles will be used for our softball practices and our softball games. They will not be allowed to use common areas as a source of water (like a water fountain). These will also help with the safety of all of the players. We will utilize these water bottles each and every day for softball practice and softball games.
