My Students

My coaching staff and I coach a wide range of student-athletes, that no matter their skill set, show a competitive nature. Most of our student-athletes however, come from low-income households and do not have access to a high degree of resources that could expand their skills. I want to provide my players ranging from grades 7-12, the best I can with exceptional tools to help them do so. Our student-athletes have the drive and determination to be the very best and prove to everyone what their team is capable of.

My Project

With your help, my team and I will be able to help our student-athletes continue to improve throughout many years to come. Working with young athletes in grade 7-12, we can use this equipment to improve the athletes' agility and foot skills. Using passing gates can allow our athletes to make clearer, more accurate passes to their teammates. A set of pop up nets can help our girls create crisp shots on smaller goals that can give them the confidence to score in a regulation size net. The use of the agility balls can let our athletes improve their reaction time with quick direction movements. Building the confidence of our young student-athletes can help them both on and off the field and this equipment may be a leading factor!
