My Project

This is our 1st year having a softball team. The girls are eager and ready to play. Our girls have been practicing hard getting ready for game. If we get these gloves we can play our 12st game. Academic is our number one priorities at our school. Softball is a great motivation to keep our girls active and here at school. Softball is so much more than just a game, It teaches us how to be a family. Our girls will get a chance to watch their self grow. It also teaches our girls structures. Participation in softball gives young ladies a fun, practical way to learn about goal setting. They'll see, experience, and learn about how goal setting works. Practicing with a group can help strengthen bonds, build confidence, and lower stress. Kids benefit big time from the increase in self-esteem you'll get from playing softball-- it helps them resist social pressure and learn to trust their peers.
