My Project

My students love going out for PE but our school is limited with PE equipment. Students are tired of playing kickball all the time and we want to incorporate more engaging games for all students.

These adjustable flag football belts will help students be more active and it will help their development, both physically and socially.

Flag belts make games more dynamic and inclusive, giving all students a chance to participate equally, regardless of skill level.

With these belts, we can incorporate a variety of games that emphasize physical fitness, strategy, and collaboration, helping students build not only their athletic skills but also their confidence and love for active play.
