The Soccer Makes Our Life Happier and Easier.

Help me give my students the portable soccer goals. Actually the ones we have are broken. The passing gates, socks and balls. That's all we need to succeed this coming soccer season. Thank you in advance,

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Castro Rodriguez's classroom raised $472

This project is fully funded

Celebrating 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 Students

My soccer players are very enthusiastic, energetic and respectful. Most of them, have family problems and live in poor conditions so they arrive so stressful to the school but are trying their best to learn how to play soccer.

Though they have their own struggles and issues, they don't let that hinder them from achieving great feats.

Though we lack in certain equipment that is necessary to succeed, my players are always ready to learn something new and always have positive attitudes.

My Project

Playing any sport help us to relief stress , be away from bad situations and improve about discipline as well. Soccer season just started and our Varsity girls soccer team is missing some important stuff for succeed in practices and games.

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional skills to make more effective practices.

I have seen how soccer can positively affect my students social skills and make them be happy and forget about bad situations around.

We are going to use all we get in the donation for teaching basic concepts of scoring. Passing sticks for improving passing skills with our new players, we also are in need of soccer socks for our home games and couple soccer balls that we can use for the games.
