My Project

I have been the head coach of MVHS Baseball for five years. This program is growing in number of players and skill levels. I stress the importance to these players they are "student-athletes" and not just athletes. School is a priority.

We need help to make our field playable for the season, and then maintain the field during the wet Utah spring weather.

MVHS does not have its field and has to use a city field. The city does not help with the dirt on the field, and the small baseball budget does not cover the cost of this maintenance. We rely on donations and fundraisers to cover these costs.

MVHS is a Title 1 school. We want to have a safe and playable field and a place where the players are proud to host their home games.
