Ready Set! Hold the NET!

Help me give my students new bases for the volley and tennis units!

My Project

My students love volleyball! We now use a net instead of a mat and the kids just love playing! We put a lot of emphasis on team work and encouragement! There is a lot of high fives and pumping people up!

We desperately need two new net stands for safety and to use for many generations to come.

One one standard the wheels are missing on the base and the students cannot touch the net or the stand wobbles. One is missing the wheels on its base and needs to be scrapped against the floor and I need to use gardening gloves to move both so I do not get large splitters from the wood.

We desperately need two new Net stands for the next 70 years of students!
