• Don't Hold Back- Resistance

  Funded Feb 28, 2019

  I am extremely thankful for all of these bands. This has taken our program to the next level, our muscular strength and endurance has increased. Students have more stamina, are faster and quicker than ever. Our high school students are not prepared to life weights but these resistance bands are a great prerequisite to introduce them to working out. The bands have strengthen our core excessively as well as legs. Our students are able to last longer on the court, there bodies have grown immensely. All due to the calisthenics and cardio we have implemented since we got the ropes.”

  Funded Feb 1, 2019

  Thank you very much for all the resources. This equipment has made all of our athletes level up. The traction mat has allowed us to have grip on our home floor and play defense effectively. The small basketballs have enhanced our dribbling skill. Gatorade bucket and towel have helped us with hydration and wiping off sweat during timeouts and dead balls. I couldn't be happier with all the equipment we were lucky to be donated. The kids are all excited. When they first saw the traction mat they were relieved and used it immediately.”

  thank you very much for your generous donation. We come from a school where resources are very limited and the fact we have the opportunity to get basketball essentials is a complete blessing. these basketballs are vital to our program because it is the most important thing needed to play the sport of basketBALL.

  When the students saw the Wilson solution basketballs they immediately compared themselves to college basketball players being that the balls are all NCAA. These basketballs are a huge edition to our program. We have practice balls and game balls that now allow us to sharpen our skills as well as host our opponents with proper equipment.”

  Want to start of by thanking you dearly, words can not explain how excited our students were when they saw the equipment. The student-athletes felt like professional basketball players because they were able to train like the pros.

  It is with great pleasure we accept these items. These resources are going to make us a better basketball program. The skills basketballs are enhancing basketball dribbling and passing. The fact that they have to concentrate more on the tiny balls to execute skills has already improved their individual skill.

  When the students saw the dribble stick they immediately were eager to use the equipment because they all want to improve their ball dribbling. The dribble stick has also helped us work on multiple kids at once.

  We are extremely thankful and our students are excited to use all the resources donated.”
