My Project

I teach and coach the Girls Junior High Basketball Team at a small rural school. We have limited opportunities for our JH students and Basketball is one of the most loved.

The court is where our students gain confidence.

We don't always get to see the traditional victories on the score board, but we do get to see it in their character, friendships and a positive outlet of their time.

Help us make both the Girls and Boys JH Teams feel valued by investing in some new basketballs and what they will truly value as "fancy" agility rings training equipment. Thank you!
