The uniforms and balls will be used for a Students versus Teachers basketball game. Students on my team have been participating in a month long program to help curve bad behavior. I am teaching them how to play basketball but intend to turn this into a program where the students learn responsibility, respect and pride. Many of my students come from rough environments and i will show them how basketball can help change their look on life. My plan is to use the equipment like an advertisement and encourage others students to behave so next year they can be part of the team.
