Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

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

I coach students from low-income families and adequate training with effective equipment is crucial. Students will use and benefit from this equipment through skill and player development, such as learning ball handling skills, how to attack the paint under pressure, and gaining better strength and conditioning.

Basketball equipment plays a crucial role in enhancing player performance through improved safety, efficiency, and effectiveness in training and games.

Proper equipment can be the difference between good and great performance, while also reducing the risk of injury.
