Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

With your support it will enable me to give my students the best soccer experience. As we return to the field, training equipment and a way to transport it will be vital in developing and improving their fundamental soccer skills. The portable goal and balls will help enhance my players skills in various areas from ball control, foot speed & agility, shot accuracy, passing, dribbling, game aspect, and endurance, just to name a few. With all the germs going around, it is important that each player has their own water bottle to ensure that we are following proper safety measures set in place. The wagons will ensure a smoother transition to and from practice and games.
