My Project

The soccer items that are requested in this project will go towards our elementary and middle school soccer teams. We want to start an elementary and middle school soccer program within our school. However, our school is not fortunate enough to have a specific athletic budget, being a charter school.

With these items, such as the soccer goals, the pop-up defenders, cones, balls, and the other training equipment that are in this project, our school will be able to train and practice with the proper equipment.

Our student-athletes will be able to go into a soccer match more confident in knowing that the equipment they have trained with through DonorsChoose has prepared them. This will hopefully give the kids a chance at becoming victorious in their soccer season.
