More Footballs For More Opportunities

My Students

Our student-athletes are some of the hardest working individuals in our entire school who try to improve every day. We are always looking to provide new and exciting possibilities for our student-athletes to improve each and every day with these great resources.

Our teams have had some great success both on the field posting some pretty impressive seasons but also in the classroom as they have earned all-state recognition as team in the classroom.

In meeting with individual students and coaches, I hear similar thoughts from all of them: "How can we improve and get better on the football field?" In trying to support the athletes growth, we have worked hard to provide new and exciting opportunities for them. However with a program of 180+ athletes it is tough for them all to get quality reps with our equipment due to the large numbers. Thus, if we are able to get the requested materials we can help foster the growth in our players that both they and the coaches are looking for.

My Project

We have requested 6 footballs to help us provide more quality reps for all our student-athletes. These resources will allow multiple position groups to use the resource at the same time. For instance, the Linebackers and DB's could be using them for passing drills at the same time as WR and RB running drills with the actual footballs. In addition, we have 3 teams that comprise our program (Freshman, JV and Varsity), who often practice at the same time. Having these extra footballs will allow the different teams to utilize the materials when they need them and not having to wait so long for others to finish.

This project will help us show our student-athletes that we are working just as hard as they are to help them improve every day and provide opportunities for all them.

It will also allow all of our athletes more reps in practice and give greater opportunities for all to improve their football skills.
