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 Students

My students greatly enjoy the sport of soccer. Many of the athletes that I have are just learning the sport or picking up the sport in order to form a closer bond with their father or brother. Our soccer team is mainly Hispanic but we are becoming more diverse every year. Many of our student athletes come from low economic households. However the students are very rich in spirit.

With soccer season around the corner I have noticed that the old soccer equipment is no longer usable due to continuous wear and tear.

With a new assortment of equipment we can run better practices among our varsity, junior varsity, and freshmen girls. Having new equipment will also allow us to properly equip our students with the right gear keeping them organized and safe on/off the field. A very helpful item would be the thermal gloves the teams will receive. The girls will share these gloves on days they have cold games. Even something as small like gloves makes a big difference out on the field. We have a few cold weather games and want to make sure the girls receive the proper coverage.

My Project

The materials will be very useful for our players in being prepared for their soccer games. Its important that they have the proper equipment in order to play their position. Goalkeeper gloves get heavily used throughout the year especially when they have to be shared a crossed three teams. Having game gloves and practice gloves for the teams will be great in order to get the most of out of them. Along with goalie specific gloves team cold weather gloves will also provide the rest of the girls with much needed warmth through out a game while on the field and off.

Our girls love jump ropes and we emphasize its use in our program.

This year we have an increase in student athletes and we require a few more ropes in order to train efficiently We continuously use those through out the year especially during conditioning training. We are not the only program that use these jump ropes as track, cross country, and wrestling uses them periodically. Jumps ropes are a great work out for any sport and they are easy to use for any student.
