Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

This pitching machine will be beneficial to my students as they will learn about time and the importance of reading the ball velocity, the importance of body movement, and eyeball coordination. The goal of this project is to motivate more girls to play Americas favorite sport of baseball and softball. It will also improve their confidence and self-esteem as a young player

Playing softball can offer girls numerous benefits, including developing teamwork, leadership skills, physical fitness, and mental toughness, as well as boosting self-esteem and fostering a sense of accomplishment and healthy habits.

Softball can help girls develop crucial social skills. Softball can teach girls how to balance their school and extracurricular activities
