Working Out While Social Distancing

Help me give my students the ability to work out without needing direct contact. In this time, we are doing our best to give our athletes an advantage without always having to be next to each other.

My Students

Our wrestling team is made up of some amazing kids. We are from an incredibly rural area that is low income and while our team is small, we are strong. Because our school is so small, funds are limited which means that the dollars have to be stretched as much as possible.

Our school does an amazing job of funding our needs, but our wants are our responsibility.

So, that is where you, the intrepid donor can come to our rescue. We are asking for things to make our team better.

Thanks in advance.

My Project

We are a hardworking wrestling team. We sweat and we give our all. However, in these times, we are always trying our best to find ways to give the kids an advantage while also keeping them safe.

This project will help us work out, wrestle, and train while helping us maintain the safety of the wrestlers on the team.

Because we are always looking to give our kids a competitive advantage, these items will help round out our wrestling room while also making sure we ensure their safety so they can remain healthy and in school. The ropes will allow us to train while separating the kids. It gives us a competitive advantage. The cleaner will be used to help keep our mats clean after tough practices. In wrestling, sweating is a part of the training. The disinfectant will help keep the mats clean and our kids safe. The Poly-Fill will allow us to stuff our wrestling dummies so that kids can practice while not wrestling each other.
