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 Project

My athletes need an ample amount of equipment so they can be fully engaged. We have a huge number of athletes and not enough equipment. My student-athletes will use this equipment to practice their skills. I want my athletes to become better volleyball, basketball, soccer, and baseball players. However, in order to have full participation, we need more volleyballs, basketballs, soccer balls, baseballs, and first aide kits. My athletes and I hope we can get donors to help us succeed this year.

My athletes will enjoy having a couple new volleyballs, basketballs, soccer balls, baseballs, and a first aid kit for the up coming season (2022-2023).

My athletes enjoy playing in team sports and I want all my athletes to experience positive and rewarding experiences while being on the High School team.

We need volleyballs, basketballs, soccer balls, baseballs, and first aid kits so our athletes can practice with enough equipment. When we don't have enough equipment, most of the practice time is wasted. Too much standing around and enough movement. If players are constantly active, they will have fewer behavioral issues, and they will enjoy the different skills which they will learn.
