Let's Get the Ball Rollin with Coach B

FULLY FUNDED! Coach B's classroom raised $571

My Project

My PE classes are full of energy, creativity, and movement, but we need safe, durable equipment to keep the momentum going. I’m requesting a set of Gator Skin balls in three different sizes (5”, 6”, and 7”) to give every student the opportunity to actively participate in skill-building games and activities. These balls are soft, easy to grip, and perfect for all ages and ability levels, which makes them ideal for everything from throwing and catching drills to team challenges. With 36 total balls, we’ll be able to run more inclusive, engaging lessons without students having to wait their turn or share limited equipment.

These Gator Skin balls will allow every student to be fully engaged and active during PE class.

My students thrive when they have opportunities to move, play, and learn through physical activity. Many of them come to PE excited for a safe space to express themselves, release energy, and build confidence. Having enough equipment for everyone means no one gets left out—and every child can feel like a valued part of the team. With your support, we can bring more motion, joy, and skill development into every class.
