My Students
We have multiple teams and students using our outdoor lifting area, we would love for a set of newer bars. Our lifters are from all areas of the city and all yearn to achieve a higher level of performance. Our students come from the entire city and 80% are on free and reduced lunch.
We have a policy which allows anyone to learn how to use the Olympic lifts to improve.
We currently have 90 kids in two weightlifting classes along with at least 2 teams per season utilizing the weight room. The entire women's track team utilizes our outside lifting area. We will need to be broken up into groups post covid and will need more equipment to keep it safe!
We have just received 10 new racks to be installed once school is back, we would love 10 squat bars to be added so we can separate the kids.
We have 2 kids training for Tokyo 2021 and multiple world team members training!!
My Project
This will help the Football, Track and field team, and the Weightlifting team reach their goals of training in a COVID safe environment! These awesome bars that will be added to our existing capital infrastructure will double our squat area capability to 20 stations.
We will go from 20 lifting areas to 30 with this gift!
We envision a set up where we have 20 squat racks and 20 lifting stations for a safe outdoor space to train. We will help at least 200 students a day as we can accommodate 5 pods of 40 throughout our athletic lifting time. We will need to increase the training reach after Covid!
More than half of students from low‑income households
