Students will design and plan a sport-related event to host and must include information relevant to the course in their plan and proposal. Examples could be an adult golf tournament, a youth related fundraiser for little league, a Collegiate National Championship, or a 5K. Students will be given a budget of $1000 for the event and expected to assemble a full proposal to submit as their “final”. You will be graded on creativity, information included, use of course materials, and proper grammar and structure of content.
Students will be asked to complete the project without a template (can be a typed paper, PowerPoint, etc.) to ensure creativity and proper knowledge is utilized, but here are some points that need to be incorporated:
Event Goals (is it to raise money? encourage participation? Solely entertainment? Championship?) SWOT analysis
Name of event
Type of event
Purpose of event
Location of event
Date of event
Expected attendance
Main participants in event
Target audience/consumer
What the budget looks like (will you have to rent space? officials/referees? pay staff? giveaways? concession? other materials?)
Forms of income (gate fees? entry fees? concessions?)
Staff & Volunteers (how many and what are the duties and tasks that will need to be completed)
Safety & Risks
Advertisement & Public Relations
Entertainment (will there be music? announcers? auctions? raffles? crowed involvement? mascots? cheerleaders’?)
Field maintenance, court prep or area plans
Include information regarding the above and summarize the schedule for the day of the event. If done professionally, this should be no less than 3 pages of content. Have fun with it! 🙂
