Basketball Toys to IMPROVE!!!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

In the last couple of years, roughly 66% of high school students have dropped out of school in New York City.

Since 2009, from the time that I got the opportunity to coach at APR, 100% of my student-athletes have graduated High School.

My name is Mr. G. I serve as the Boys Varsity Head Coach at APRHS. One of the main hurdles that I have encountered as a head coach yearly, is finding funds for our teams.

The population that I coach is very resilient. They are not your average high school student-athletes. The majority of my student-athletes have extra responsibilities that entail babysitting little siblings, babysitting grandparents, potential after school employment due to family financial hurdles, and most importantly, they still need to meet their academic daily goals. Academia is always top priority in my program!

My Project

These material will enable my student-athletes to gain confidence in themselves. I treat them with respect and prepare them to be successful when they reach life after basketball.

The athletes I coach have never experience a detailed training session in their respective sport of basketball due to their community circumstances.

The equipment such as the Weight Sprint Trainers, that I am requesting is viewed as a luxury tool. My student-athletes are not aware that tools I am requesting are essential in order to develop into a complete basketball player.

The school, community, students, and parents will appreciate and cherish the equipment for a lifetime. Thank you in advance!!!
