For this project Driskell and I propose on doing a basketball tournament that will consist of each team being made up of the different classes. The tournament will go by a bracket system having the different teams play against each other and then the winner of each game will move on up the bracket. Basketball is a fun sport that puts an emphasis on the use of team work and that is a great way for the participants to make themselves more open with one another.
Executive Summary
Being a STEM school Aviation does not have the time nor the resources to offer it's students a way for them to fulfill their PE hours during school. When all students were interviewed they knew that they were going to have to find alternate ways to get their hours. The thing is though there are many students who procrastinate that till the end of high school careers. But they have more important things to take care of for instance senior projects and community service hours. There is no time for students to go out and obtain those hours. To attempt to make the situation a little more fair in the favor of the students their were different clubs in which were implemented to make that a little easier. Like Marathon Club and open gym club. But this project is an attempt to make it even easier for the students by giving them a chance to add on to those hours during school hours.
Need
This project is all going to be independent. It does not require money or any other type of assistance like that. The one thing that it needs is to have enough people show up and participate in it to make it a little more fun for those that wanted to come and play. The way that we can make sure that happens is to advertise it as much as possible so that the students are aware of when it is happening and how it can benefit them.
Objective
I think that there will be a reasonable amount of people that will want to come and join in on the fun. Not only do I see people that I know play basketball coming but I think that more will come as well. Because while advertising we will show how much they can benefit from just participating in one clubs day session.
Method
What I think will get the maximum amount of people to come will be making them come to a session where they learn how much fun they can have by playing basketball. Before I stared to play I thought that there was no point to it. Which is what I believe is the common reaction for most of the students here at Aviation high School.
Evaluation
I think that the best way to see if this project worked is by asking them how much fun they had and asking if they would participate if there was another event. Because the objective of this project is to get people like a sport so that they can make it easier on themselves to get PE hours.
Time Table
I planned out that the games themselves will be during lunch and clubs on Thursdays. Here is a list of the things that my partner and I hope to accomplish in order to get the tournament under way:
April 15: Create teams according on grade and if that does not work sort it by interest.
April 20 Go to the advisories of the chosen team captains and make sure that they know the date that we set up as the game-day.
May 1st Create a Facebook page that advertises the event that way people will be informed whether they want to watch or play.
May 5th Start off the competition!
Budget
This is a cost free project and it will not cost me nor the school any money.
Conclusion
This is a great project because of the fact that it is bringing sports to Aviation High School. It makes it easier for the students that participate to get volunteer hours and it helps them get to know one another better. The last reason why I think that this is a worth while project is that it helps get them hooked onto a magnificent sport so that maybe they could pursue it and make it on a team to knock out their PE hours!
