Speed Gates for Flag Football Speedsters

Help me give my students speed gates, zip ties, colored paper and card stock!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Schwartz's classroom raised $390

This project is fully funded

My Project

The main item we are requesting is a speed gate system so that our flag football athletes can work on their speed. The 40 yd dash is what football players use for recruiting and it is no different for flag football.

With the sport growing so much at the high school level, and now expanding to the college level, I want to give my girls every opportunity to succeed at every level!

In order to help keep growing the sport at our school, and in the city as a whole, we are also requesting colored paper and card stock as well as zip ties and duct tape so that we can make flyers to spread the word about summer camps and clinics that are being offered!
