Our players are using the new volleyballs along with the hand setters to practice setting the volleyball. The volleyball trainers are good for beginners. We use them in bumping drills. When the girls first saw the new materials, they were excited and eager to put them to use. Having more equipment also means that more players can participate at the same time instead of waiting for their turn. More reps means more practice!\r\nAs we continue preparing for our upcoming volleyball season which starts in January, we will use these resources to improve our individual skills and strengthen our teamwork. Our practices will include skill building drills, team competitions and game situations that help our players become more confident on the court. \r\nMost importantly, your generosity is helping our students learn lessons that go beyond volleyball. Through our program, they are learning teamwork, discipline, communication, sportsmanship and perseverance. Thank you for believing in our girls and providing them with the resources and opportunities they need to grow as athletes, students and teammates.","fullyFundedDate":1781145617690,"projectUrl":"project/help-our-girls-volleyball-team-serve-up/10325365/","projectTitle":"Help Our Girls Volleyball Team Serve Up Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Babb","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1540881_orig.jpg?crop=1765,1765,x256,y235&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1709582208015","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1540881"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_299","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":433,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":77,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":59.2,"schoolId":299,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Junior High School 123 James M Kieran on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Junior High School 123 James M Kieran","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/jhs-123-james-m-kiernan/299"}
