With the higher caliber ball they were able to really showcase their talents with out the fear of the balls popping or not reacting properly. We were also able to provide game balls on the level of the league we were in. It was a true confidence booster to know that we had elevated our equipment to the appropriate level. \r\n\r\nThese new balls allowed one of our teams to reach the state championship game. Although we didn't win the confidence gained by using the right type of equipment truly helped. Along with the new balls the culture of our volleyball program has really grown.","fullyFundedDate":1734712321007,"projectUrl":"project/bumping-up-success-volleyballs-for-tea/8810677/","projectTitle":"\"Bumping Up Success: Volleyballs for Team Practice and Competition\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Snell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8346376_orig.png?crop=387,387,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1700401286958","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/coachsnell"},{"teacherId":8346376,"projectId":10130348,"letterContent":"Our students were incredibly excited when the new bags showed up in the team room. There were super excited at the size and color of the bags. They wanted to use them right away even though basketball season doesn't start until November for us. This was a significant upgrade from the last bags we had. They will be more organized, take up less space, and hold just the right amount of equipment to keep us clean and organized.\r\n\r\nThe team will be using these bags the very first moment they make the team. The players are not allowed to bring personal bags to practice or games. They must use these bags to keep our area clean and organized. We love the fact that the bags can only carry a ball, shoes, and some small personal items. As we have stated this will keep our area clean and organized. \r\n\r\nThe next step for the athletes is to maintain their physical fitness over the summer. Many of them play in leagues during the offseason. They will also participate in 4 camps the school holds over the off season to maintain the culture of the program. In November they will have tryouts and that is when they will be issued their bags and start using them. I personally can't wait to see them in action come next winter. Once again thank you all for providing such an amazing gift.","fullyFundedDate":1773102864411,"projectUrl":"project/gear-up-for-a-winning-season/10130348/","projectTitle":"Gear Up for a Winning Season","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Snell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8346376_orig.png?crop=387,387,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1700401286958","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/coachsnell"},{"teacherId":8119796,"projectId":5891126,"letterContent":"On behalf of our students and staff, thank you for your generous support of our school library.
