My Project

My students have new play equipment, including kickballs, basketballs, and footballs. They are enjoying learning the basics of the games. The problem is that the balls are deflated!

We need an air pump to keep our equipment ready for use.

The electric ball pump in this project will fill up the balls quickly. I chose a heavy-duty pump so it will last for years. This piece of equipment will ensure that all the children, from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade, can play and practice the sport of their choice with no worries. This project also includes two soccer balls for the older children. Soccer is the most popular sport of the upperclassmen.
