My Project

Our HS is located in Jersey City and serves one of the most diverse student population in the country which includes our basketball team. The basketball team does not have all the necessary equipment to achieve our goal for competing for a state championship nor giving our student athletes the opportunity to receive an athletic scholarship in college.

The following items on the list will assist our coaching staff with enhancing our practices so that we can bring out the best for our student athletes.

Some of these items include basics, such as basketballs and also a cage to store them. Our current cage broke so we can not properly transfer the basketball from the equipment room onto the court.

Other items such as the training bands, weight vests, plyo box will assist our students in regard to strength training since we do not always have access to our weight room.
