My Project

Help get our students get their groove back! We recently had a playground update and they had to dispose of our most prized piece of equipment on the early childhood playground, our perfectly sized, permanent, miniature basketball hoop due to the fact that it doesn't meet current code. Now we have a huge slab of fresh concrete but no hoop to be found. I have been reaching out everywhere possible to no avail.

A basketball hoop, like the one requested in this project, can be so much more than it seems.

Students learn communication skills, how to work on a team, coordination, and more all through throwing a ball through a hoop, or in this case, a funnel.
