Coach Sprayberry from Hennessey OK is requesting sports & exercise equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Perfecting Blocking Technique!!

My Students

My students are athletes both boys and girls who compete in a variety of sports such as Baseball, Basketball, Cross-Country, Football, Track/Field, and Wrestling. The majority of our students come from low-income families with over 95% of them being on free/reduced lunch. For many of our students, their athletic abilities will be their main avenue to attend college.

My Project

These Blocking shields will be utilized by the high school football team, middle school football team, and little league football team. By letting all three teams use these shields it will allow growth to start at a younger age so by the time they get into high school we will not have to start at the basics and can already be using more advanced techniques. Using these shields will help the athletes implement these techniques on the field which will result in better play and increase the chances of them getting a college scholarship.
