Our basketball team must use sub-standard basketball equipment for practice and warm up drills before games. When we travel to other schools we have old basketballs for warmups, a mesh bag to transport our equipment. We have the same beat up basketballs for practice and team shoot arounds. During our home games we don't have a proper scoreboard to keep track of stats (which can lead to difficulty keeping records for our team). Our goal is to provide out team with everything that a higher income school has access to. There is not a lot of opportunity at our school for our students to practice and play with the best of equipment. Our basketball team must use sub-standard basketball equipment for practice and warm up drills before games. Our goal is to provide our student-athletes with the tools necessary to be competitive and the belief that no matter where you start you can always finish first!
