My Project

Our new basketball team has been working hard to master the basics of ball control, defense, and finishing.

Learning to shoot accurately on the basketball court is the big finish all players are looking for.

These energetic athletes need a few tools to help them refine their skills and playing instincts. First, we need some off-hand basketball trainers to help us practice shooting without interference from our non-shooting hands. Pop-up defenders can be placed on the court as safe obstacles to challenge the players' understanding of effective offensive and defensive tactics. The ball pump will keep the balls properly inflated. Zip ties are super helpful for hanging important signage. And sports-themed stickers are offered as fun rewards for working hard at practice because a little extrinsic motivation is always fun.
