My students need training equipment to grow in the sport of soccer. Soccer practice and training is an outlet for many of them.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
We live on a small island that is only accessible by boat or plane. Our school teams travel long, long hours to play competitively (leave at 9am, home at 12:30am). Our student athletes are nothing short of amazing when it comes to travelling, getting homework done on a bus or ferry, and then playing with passion.
Many of the student athletes are 3-sport athletes, as we only have approximately 45 students in the high school.
Our school and community is approximately 30% Hispanic and 68% Caucasian. The families are tight knit and many parents are volunteer coaches at the school and in the community youth leagues.
Ultimately, it's a community where kids still play outside until dinner time. We try to provide safe, welcoming spaces for our youth, and it is the most generous community one could ever hope to be a part of, but we're also limited. The economy and the families' incomes are supported by a 5-6 month tourist season. Often times storms can cut that even shorter.
My Project
Our community just built its first soccer field 2 years ago. Our kids, from Pre-K to 12th are so excited for the opportunity to play the world's greatest sport! But we have a long way to go in being equipped with training equipment to take their game to a competitive level. The size 4 soccer balls and small goals will be tailored to fit young players. The target net and rebounder will be for more advanced players to develop game skills.
The high school varsity players and parent volunteers lead the youth soccer skills program.
It's an incredible scene to see the big kids teaching the next generation of soccer players. They're a remarkable group of you men and women who are invested in the sport and how it can bring a community together.
Please help our student athletes experience high level, fun training!
