My Project

I love my students enthusiasm in gym. They love to play badminton, but we are in need of some new rackets. Badminton is easy to learn and helps students in so many ways. This is a great sport for small groups in a less competitive setting than other sports.

Badminton helps students find a fun way to be active while working on hand eye coordination, social skills and strategic thinking.

with your donations my students will have the opportunity to use new badminton rackets so they can play with proper equipment.
