My Project

Basketball is very popular in my school and many players who would like to play. I am looking to provide the players this year with practice equipment to help them train and work on improving the skills needed to take them to a higher level.

This project would help because we don't have a facility of our own and therefore do not have our own equipment to practice.

With the equipment requested even if we practice in random gyms or outside we have equipment we can bring with us to use for practice. The mesh pinnies requested will keep us uniform during practice when splitting into groups. The travel bags keeps the players organized and makes sure they always have their gear ready for games or practice. It also gives the players a feeling of pride with the school logo on the bag as well as a sense of belonging because they all have team gear.

My goal is to give my players the best experience possible, giving them high quality equipment to use to train to get stronger, and faster and build their basketball IQ. I believe these students deserve to be invested in, and the outcome of our program builds a sense of community, and allows students to grow socially, and physically and this will be good for their lives after high school. The training and high quality practices I can have with the team the better the chance they will develop and increase the skills needed to play varsity basketball and then college basketball.
