It has been two years since the girl's basketball team at our school has won a game. They have been playing with uniforms, basketballs, and equipment that are over a decade old - I know this because I ordered them the last time I coached.
They need new basketballs. They need a lot, but starting with the essentials is the first priority. I coached years ago, took a break to get married and have a family, and now the program needs to be rebuilt.
If these girls could know what it feels like to hold a new basketball in their hands, I know that it would boost their confidence, they could have hope, and play as a team. Imagine coming out to basketball practice to bounce balls that are so old, they make funny noises, and bounce weird. Other teams never let us use our own balls at home games.
New basketballs would allow these girls to have confidence, play better, learn new skills, and all around improve their motivation on and off the court - in and out of the classroom. When they dribble and shoot, they will feel empowered and finally know what a new basketball feels like.
