My Project

please help give my football players student-athlete football practice shorts to be able to work out during the 4th block and participate in football drills during and after school. we need new adult-size shorts to use for football practice and workouts during and after school. We have multiple students who can not get athletic shorts and we need support in that area. We will take pictures of the students practicing and working out in adult-size practice shorts. We need the shorts to be in multiple sizes so that every student-athlete can use them for football practice while doing drills and lifting weights.
