The Wrens Need a Nest

Help me give my students a batting cage, safety screen, and batting materials! Our batting cage is tattered, very old, falling apart and almost unusable at this point.

My Students

I coach volleyball and softball at a very small school. The student athletes work extra hard to raise money for their programs because we dont have the population to get the funds we need.

These are some of the hardest working, passionate, and worthy athletes I have been around.

I want to get them the materials they need to reach their full potential.

Some of these athletes could go on to scholarships and I want to help them get there!

My Project

Our baseball and softball teams are in great need of a new batting cage and safety net to go inside. Our current net is falling apart and near unusable.

These nets will help to keep them safe during batting practice.

The other items in the cart will help us as coaches to perfect our players swings and be able to show them in a hands on way, with equipment they can use, what it feels like to correctly swing.

These kids will be so excited to use these new pieces of equipment. They deserve these items so they can enjoy their sport!
