My Project

The students in my elementary School come from low-income households (95% or more) and don't always have the means financially to enroll their children in after school activities or sports.

I would like to start an intramural soccer club with 6th through 8th grade students at my school.

Attempting to be more culturally diverse, I'm trying to start a soccer club for my middle school students. I'd like to be able to support a large population of students who'd like to play soccer but do not have access to a club in their neighborhood. Having soccer equipment at our disposal would be vital to our success as a club.
