This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I have amazing students. Outside of the classroom, I have discovered that many have raw talent in soccer. I decided to start an after-school soccer club. The program runs from October-June. The biggest challenge we face as a team is lack of equipment.
My student-athletes work extremely hard in the classroom and on the field as we emphasize a growth-mindset way of thinking in all that we do.
Although we lack the basic resources (mostly playing soccer in their school clothes and tennis shoes), they never complain and have a blast!
Our school is located in a low-income area in Hope Mills, N.C. Most families cannot afford to purchase soccer training equipment such as soccer rebounders, game balls, and pop-up goals for small sided games. They never ask for anything and would be very thankful for anything they would receive. These student-athletes earn and deserve the same opportunities as those in more fortunate situations able to play at high costs clubs. Your support will be greatly appreciated.
My Project
The donated resources will allow for superb technical and physical training required to be prepared and contend with local competition. My student-athletes work extremely hard in the classroom and on the field as we emphasize a growth-mindset way of thinking in all that we do. Our school is located in a low-income area in Hope Mills, N.C. Most families cannot afford to put there players in the costly clubs. We are asking for the equipment similar to what clubs use to train these students effeciently. We are requesting equipment such as pop-up goals, rebounders, balls and standard game goals. These student-athletes earn and deserve the same opportunities as those in more fortunate situations able to play at high costs clubs. Your support will be greatly appreciated.
