My Project
The donations for this project will be beneficial for our overall athletic program at GMS. It will go beyond the football program and support all of our student-athletes as they strive to develop and pursue athletics at the next level. We desire to possess adequate sports training equipment that not only helps build strength and enhance skills, but most of all aids in developing proper techniques to avoid injuries and maintain safety.
Many middle-school students are extremely excited about the opportunity to participate in team sports and embrace the rigor and challenges of preparing for it.
However, there is adequate evidence arising from injury prevention studies of youth sports participants emphasizing the necessity for proper training equipment that is designed age-appropriately to help develop their muscles and avoid injuries.
With safety and proper training being a higher priority than skill development or dominating games, the Exxact Sports Tackle Wheel teaches athletes how to adjust their angles in pursuit and demonstrate form tackling to prevent concussions and other injuries. The Padded blocking Guards are constructed with an ultra-dense foam core that is used to minimize impact and avoid injury. The overall objective of our project is to build a safe training environment that is equipped with adequate equipment and encourage ongoing personal health and safe techniques that would make their experience as a student-athlete rewarding and successful.
More than half of students from low‑income households
