My Project

We have started a pickleball team here, and we need your help giving the students the proper equipment to prepare and compete in this exciting new sport.

With your support, we can bring our pickleball team to life and encourage more students to join the team.

We can practice and compete with the new pickleball net, paddles, and balls. The exercise balls will help our students get into shape by strengthening their core and agility and endurance. With a new score board, we will be able to keep accurate score of games and manage results of games for home and visiting teams.

Thank you for your generosity and help with this new endeavor.
