Introduction to Our 20-Time Project

When you were an 8th grader, how hard was it for you to transition from middle school to high school? Was your summer a lot different? Was the beginning of your school year difficult? It probably was. These were the questions that Niko, Quinn, and I faced when deciding what to do for our 20-time project. What a 20-time project is is when you spend 20 percent of a given time to solving a problem that you have. This problem could be a personal, community, or world problem. For example, you could dedicate your project to solving world hunger, or you could spend your time learning the piano. Whatever you see is a problem, you have the opportunity to go and fix it with 20-time. For our project, we want to host a football camp that helps incoming Freshman bridge the gap between middle and high school. The camp will be for all incoming freshman who are interested. We will teach them on-the-field skills, as well as going to the school weight room and teaching them some basic lifts. Our main focus for this project is to have all the freshman ready for the summer football. Summer football is very hard on the freshman, because they don’t know what to expect. By hosting this camp, we hope to give them a taste of what that summer football program will be like. We also want the new Freshman to be comfortable when the offseason rolls around.
