Executive Summary of my Project

Basketball

Through life, sports teach discipline, resilience, teamwork and respect. Through basketball, as a team I strive to create these values. My basketball project consists of creating several three on three basketball tournaments to raise funds for local basketball related activities, teams, players and equipment (shoes, nets, basketballs etc.). The project arose after I noticed the lack of funding my basketball team and many other teams had in my area. I am passionate about the sport of basketball and I wanted to make a positive impact on it in my area.

Currently, I have had one three on three basketball tournament, raising nearly 550$ that will all go back into the basketball community. I would like to host many more tournaments similar to this, while opening the tournament up to a larger audience. I would like to host the tournament at a public basketball court in Brasilito, Costa Rica in order to attract more people. The tournament will be held around 4 months from now. In order to do so I would need 200$ to cover the basic fees, supplies and prizes for the tournament. With this money I would be able to raise thousands of dollars for local basketball teams and players in my community. Everyone deserves to play the game of basketball it is an exciting , healthy activity for all and through my tournament I can bring more people to the game I love.
