The new basketballs will help my students become better athletes because the current basketballs lose air quickly and we have to constantly air them up them. Having new equipment will give my students a boost in confidence because they will no longer be struggling with basketballs that deflate easily. The new equipment will help the students practice, play and compete at a higher level. The basketballs and foam roller are something my students playing basketball will use but also they will be available for the other students to use as well. The equipment will be well received by my students and the basketballs will last a long time at our school that will benefit future students.
