Soccer Team Needs New Game Balls

Help me give my students new game balls to host home soccer games

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fleming's classroom raised $598

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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 Students

Our student-athletes are members of a successful soccer program who has won state, made 2 state appearances, and won the city championship.

Our soccer program is one giant family.

The boys consider the team their second family.

The student-athletes are committed to soccer, each other, and their academics. They are always striving to be the best student-athletes that they can be, and our program is constantly pushing them to be their very best self.

My Project

These soccer game balls will help our program be prepared to host home games. Each home game, we are expected to provide 3 game balls.

Our current game balls have a lot of wear and tear!

They are a few years old and are not what they used to be. Old game balls is not an ideal way to play a premier level soccer game.

The new balls will provide a better game for both teams playing. But most importantly, it will help our players feel valued and supported.

Lack of gear and other soccer essentials do not stop our boys from playing the game that they love. However, this project will help our soccer family tremendously.
