Our boys and girls are determined and hard-working students from rural areas. They want to be in school after being at home for a long period, isolated from friends. School budgets are spread thin with the devastation of the coronavirus. Middle school sports are the first of the budget cuts. We have to find new ways to provide needed basic supplies for our players.
My Project
Our state is still using the same standards for sports put in place last year during the Covid-19 pandemic. We will not be able to share items or use water fountains during practice or games.
My players need water bottles for practices and games in basketball so they can stay hydrated.
Being hydrated is a huge part of sports and with limited access to water during the pandemic, we need to provide our players with their own individual water bottles. During the basketball season, our gym gets very hot, so being able to get their hands on water is essential for great performances during games and practice.
