My Project

Help our basketball teams transition to the official PIAA game ball, the Wilson Evo NXT, ensuring they're equipped for success in upcoming seasons.

The PIAA has announced a significant change: the official game ball for boys' and girls' basketball will be the Wilson Evo NXT from 2025 to 2029.

Our basketball teams are dedicated to excellence, and we want to ensure they're prepared for this transition. Practicing with the official game ball is crucial for developing the necessary touch, grip, and feel to compete at their best.

Currently, our teams use older basketballs that don't match the Evo NXT's specifications. This disparity can hinder their ability to develop consistent shooting, dribbling, and passing skills. By providing them with a set of Wilson Evo NXT basketballs, we'll give them the tools they need to adapt to the new standard and excel in future competitions.

These new basketballs will:

-Facilitate a smooth transition to the official PIAA game ball.

-Improve players' ball handling and shooting accuracy.

-Enhance team performance and competitiveness.

-Provide consistent practice and game-like conditions.

-Demonstrate our commitment to providing our athletes with top-tier equipment.

Your generous donation will directly support our basketball teams, enabling them to practice with the same ball they'll use in official games. Help us prepare them for success and empower them to reach their full potential.

What We Need:

-A set of Wilson Evo NXT basketballs. 5 Boys and 5 Girls.

Impact:

-Seamless transition to the official PIAA game ball.

-Improved player performance and confidence.

-Enhanced team competitiveness and success.

-Consistent and effective practice sessions.

-A stronger and more prepared basketball program
