Help me give my students folding goals, badminton sets and soccer goals for the opportunity to find a sport/fitness activity they can continue throughout their life to promote a healthy lifestyle.

My Project
My students attend a middle school in the 2nd most diverse district in the state of MO. We have students from all kinds of backgrounds, countries, ethnicities, and nationalities. What continues to surprise me about this is not how diverse they are, but how well they get along with one another despite their differences. They build relationships with one another based on common interests and situations rather than economic status or skin color.
My students can do great things given the right tools.
They must learn how to navigate their world in a way that has a positive impact on their society. Many of their backgrounds do not equip them for such a feat, but every positive experience we can give them will get them closer.
All our goals are old and fall apart every time we move them. The kids never complain and are just happy to play. We are changing are class structure next year and will be offering more specific class offerings. Students will get to choose what type of PE class they want: team sports, low-impact aerobics, PE games, fitness/weight Room, and individual sports. Currently, we do not have any badminton nets and would like to add that to our individual sports class, and the new hockey and soccer goals will replace the ones we had to get rid of earlier this year. Our school is continuing to grow, but are PE budget remains the same.
More than half of students from low‑income households
