My Project

My students with disabilities want to learn how to play basketball and seeing that we have a new group of elementary aged students, we want to start early. We are a 12 month school term and our summer theme is at the sea. We would like to be able to teach a sport that is fun and needs skills.

Each year we work on one gym sport to have a school team in and this year we collectively chose basketball.

We need the basic supplies, basketballs, nets that our student can hit or get a ball into as they are shorter then By practicing, learning the skills, and rules, and modifying the court, we hope to make this an enjoyable team sport for our students.
