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

We need practice balls, bags, and scrimmage caps to effectively and efficiently run a football practice.

Having the proper practice equipment will increase preparedness and readiness for our student-athletes for games and competitions.

As a growing program, we require more resources to provide optimal opportunities to all of our student-athletes to develop and build their technique and basic skills of the game. Building these skills will allow them to better perform in games and competitions. In addition, their confidence in their skill set will grow throughout the season.

With the addition of this equipment, we will be able to build a game-like atmosphere. Game Simulation will be developed by using the equipment during practice al. It will allow our athletes to simulate game scenarios, which will help them become better prepared for actual competition. This includes practicing specific plays, strategies, and reactions to various game situations.

This equipment with help to build the tactical understanding of our players. Practicing enables athletes to understand the tactical aspects of their sport better. This includes learning how to read the game, make quick decisions under pressure, and adapt to different game situations.

Ultimately this set of equipment will help us to continually teach and develop our student-athletes over their four year in our program.
