My project was to organize and hold a whiffle ball tournament at the high school in order to bring attention to the efforts being made by the Reviving baseball in inner cities program. My goals were for students to come and enjoy the game of whiffle ball and see the positive effects that a sport like baseball can have on young people. I got to the field early in order to set up multiple fields with cones and markers. I looked up and measured out how much a regulation whiffle ball field would be. My goals were defiantly reached, everyone who attended seemed to enjoy the tournament and recognize the joy a sport can bring to young people. Running an event is extremely difficult and takes a significant amount of planning beforehand. Fortunately I had some background knowledge about whiffle ball, but I had to make sure to look up all the different kinds of rules. When in charge of an event it was important to be able to answer any question that someone attending might have. If I had to do it again I would probably do it with another person it was a lot to take on for just one person. I have gained valuable knowledge about organizing and running an event in my community which I can take with me the rest of my life. The biggest part is spreading the word so that people actually come to the event. Next time I would have more things to do besides just whiffle ball in order to spread interest. Most importantly if people say maybe do not depend on them to show up.
