My Project

Physical fitness often leads to mental fitness. This project will allow the members of our boys volleyball program to engage in plyometric training that will increase their speed, jumping capabilities, and endurance. Furthermore, our players will benefit from the cardiovascular exercises sure to increase their overall health and fitness.

Instead of purchasing old-fashioned, heavy, and oftentimes dangerous wooden jump boxes, we are asking for these lightweight foam plyo boxes that can be easily moved around and stored in our equipment closet.

Our program usually is usually comprised of over 50 boys, and these boxes should contribute to our program's training regiment for years to come.

Grades 9-12
