The Right Ball for Volleyball

Help me give my students volleyball equipment so that they can train better and perform better with the right tools. The right ball can make a big difference in how they play the sport.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The students are really working hard and they are trying to get better each day at playing volleyball. However, we do not have the right equipment to help them train better and become better. The new balls would allow us to have new equipment that is in better shape to bounce correctly off the players hands and overall provide a better experience.

We are currently playing with borrowed balls and most have seen better days.

We also do not have any balls to take with us to the games for practicing before playing the game. This new equipment will provide many opportunities for the players.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
