Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 students/players love the game of volleyball. They seek ways to become further involved in the game and to increase their overall skill set and knowledge as it pertains to volleyball.

I coach 48 girls on three different volleyball team levels (freshmen/sophomore, Junior Varsity, and Varsity).

We start every day with a 6th period volleyball class in the fall and spring semesters. The fall semester is solely for students who have made one of the volleyball team levels. The spring semester is opened up to any student that is interested in learning more about the game and improving their skill and knowledge of volleyball in the hopes of making the team for the upcoming season.

My Project

These girls love the sport of volleyball but do not have the means for extra skill training or to pay for club volleyball in order to further expose them to the game. For some of them, this is the only extra curricular activity they participate in during the entire year.

The GoPro camera, SD card, and accessory kit will allow for taping of their games so that they can watch the film and learn from their play, as well as, the play of the opposing teams.

This is just another way to help them gain access and exposure to the sport.
