Bounteous Basketball
The feel of the ball is crucial to player development and confidence development. We need our game ball and practice balls to be similar in feel. This allows the players to feel confident in there ability to shoot and handle the ball as they begin each game. Despite the lack of good basketballs, we also have to work with a floor that is used for multiple purposes. It makes it very slick, the traction pad will help the girls be able to have better grip on their shoes. This helps them to make better cuts allowing them to get open more easily.
My students need basketballs that have good grip to practice and play with as well as a way to keep from slipping on our multi-purpose gym floor.
My Students
My students are dedicated and hard working. They excel in the classroom plus they are putting forth their best efforts on the basketball court. They practice hard and play harder as they strive to hone their basketball skills.
These energetic students are ready to make every effort to develop teamwork and sportsmanship as they practice and play basketball.
Skills learned in this sport translate into life lessons. It teaches them to manage time, work together, and promotes the desires to continually improve themselves and their team.

Our girls basketball team has the needed equipment to practice. The additional equipment allows all the girls to have a basketball to use at practice. It also helps them have a better feel for a game ball so when they go to a game, they aren't thrown off by the different texture and style of ball. It not only lifted their confidence but their spirits as well. They have had a tough season with injuries plaguing many players so it was great to have a positive lift!
