This year we will have several sports for our students to participate in with volleyball being one of them. This volleyball equipment will enhance my student's practice and game performance. The current equipment we have is very worn out and most of it is damaged. The knee pads will be a necessity to protect my students from injuries that could occur. We are in need of new volleyballs and we would like a cart to put the volleyballs in during our practices. This will protect the balls from getting damaged as well. These sports opportunities give my students valuable skills that can assist them in their futures, Sports can change lives. My students love participating in sports and being part of a team. They look forward to attending practices and games. They have a sense of belonging and acceptance when participating. This equipment would be very helpful in assisting our practices and helping my students achieve all that they can.
