My Project

All athletes want to be able to train with the best available equipment. The items requested will give students access to quality equipment that will help further their athletic development. Quality equipment will give students not only a competitive edge but will also allow students to further explore the sport and potentially find something they love and look forward to each and every day. Athletes learn to be leaders on and off the field having access to quality equipment helps students to feel like every aspect of the educational experience is valued.
