My Project

I have plenty of soccer balls for students to use. I don’t have goals for them to shoot in. I can use these for indoor and outdoor use. Most of my students have never played soccer or even know what it is. The equipment will provide a well rounded physical education class. The toss and catch equipment will allow all students to play the game at the same time. I enjoy teaching physical education, especially when I get to introduce something new to them. The students give me a hard time at first but end up loving it.
