My Project

Our school is in the process of rebuilding our volleyball team. Last season we had over 45 students join the team.

They worked hard all season and did great with the resources we had.

We only had four balls for the season and by the end of the season, that number was half.

Help me make sure that for next season we have the volleyball equipment we need to continue to have a team. These student-athletes deserve to have new equipment that makes the level of hard work and dedication they have for the team.
