My Project

Here at WVA our students truly enjoy competing in extracurricular activities in the team sports, especially Soccer competitions. We are requesting soccer goal nets and soccer balls to support our team with soccer equipment. Fortunately, we conveniently have several professional soccer locations right outside of our campus in DTLA like BMO Stadium that houses the Major League Soccer's Los Angeles FC and the National Women's Soccer League's Angel City FC. This terrific coincidence may provide our students with a serendipitous advantage that may also provide future opportunities of soccer a career. Soccer is a tradition and a favored sport for most of our student population. It is believed that this game was played as far back in China since the 3rd century BC and it has been played in England since the 1800s but some believe that it was started by the Aztecs over 2000 years ago using a rubber ball. Soccer equipment is available in stores such as DICK'S Sporting Goods among many others. Our school believes that giving our students with multiple learning modalities such as TPR (Total Physical Response) an opportunity to for multiple careers in sports will benefit their mental health, their social-emotional relationships, and their self-confidence. A career in sport-medicine is also an option, since we have USC right down the street from our school campus. We are so appreciative, in advance for the opportunity to write this team sport project and we thank anyone involved, in advance, for your philanthropic support. Thank you and ten-fold Blessings to all involved!
