My Project

The items that I am requesting help for is to enhance and improve baseball players skill sets. We are a very young team, consisting of middle school and high school students. These items are very important as I am teaching them the skills and fundamentals about baseball.

With your help getting these items, it will enable us the chance to become better as a team and individually.

Many students have expressed interested in learning the game, and I would like to keep them interested by getting this equipment. Baseball is a thinking game. It will also sharpen their minds. We need hitting mats and baseball throwing trainers.
