The birdies were in pitiful shape.\r\n\r\nThe students loved playing the game with the battered equipment so much that we wanted to provide good and real equipment for them to use.\r\n\r\nThis project has been a total success.

No one has to wear caution or danger tape (although a couple said \"I want to be danger\" - these kids!).\r\n\r\nAnother fun thing the kids have done is to combine team colors. For example so far red and orange jerseys combined on a team they named \"Fire\". Another was black and blue for \"Bruises\".
