Over winter break there will be a futsal (indoor soccer) tournament at Northeastern Junior College. An easy way to quickly gain experience would be to talk to the people in charge and running the tournament to ask to help set up, coordinate and even run the tournament. By doing this, one can learn if they are really interesting in doing this for a living, gain experience and even learn and gain strength in traits you may have not know of or had already. By running a tournament you can gain confidence, people skills and even respect within a community by running a safe, efficient and fun tournament. While running a tournament or sporting event can be seen as a small task, it can be the beginning of something much bigger. Coordinating a small event like this can be the base for something bigger. There's opportunities all around to find ways to start a career. Internships could be the easiest way, as there are opportunities around every corner. But if you're trying to succeed and be great at what you do, researching more and taking suggestions from already accomplished people can be and even better tool.

I was born into a competitive family and I fell in love with the desire to compete. Everyone who I have been coached by in my athletic career has taught me the importance of winning and how much more enjoyable it is when you are part of a successful team. I processed all my information and I still had been unable to put it all together. I emailed Mr. Spear and I asked him for some advice over the summer as the school year rapidly approached. He got back to me rather quickly and told me various ideas, but one of them caught my eye and it was something that was right there the whole time: Coaching. Since I was young, I have been very blessed to have had the opportunity to learn from so many coaches, I knew it would be a superb opportunity to get myself involved in coaching. It was important for me to find a valuable way to enter into coaching and that’s when I learned the clear way to get involved in coaching is by entering into youth sports. But, I still felt that the coaching part itself was not enough to get me through the year, so I decided to implicate another part of my project. I wanted to learn league

In the early 20th century, the dominant theme in American sport was the spread and influence of “organized team sport” in American culture. Organized team sport gained attention and importance as early as the late 1800’s with the influence of Luther Halsey Guick. Guick viewed sports as a social tool that sped up an individual’s ability to self-govern and thus he pushed for public funded playgrounds in big cities. Guick also focused on integrating team competition into the school system as much as possible; he was incredibly successful in this endeavour and team competition became an integral part of the education system. One obstacle faced in physical education was the need for an indoor sport that could be played during the winter; this posed multiple obstacles in itself. Developing a game that could be played in a small enclosed area and was not rough, proved to be a challenging feat that was eventually overcome by James Naismith. The development of basketball furthered the integration of organized team sports into American culture.
A prosperous restaurant needs greeters, servers, cooks, and so forth, as well as the managers. Their ability to work as a team is crucial to its success. You may not have the same interests or beliefs of those you work with, but that cannot stand in the way of carrying out your job. The same principles and strategies are relevant and important in sports, and they can be started and nurtured through involvement in organized youth sports activities.
PAR1 was playing in a local softball tournament. He stepped up to bat and hit a single. As the next batter came up PAR1 took a generous lead off first base. The batter then hit the ball into the outfield and PAR1 took off like a rocket. PAR1 was nearing second base when the ball was overthrow allowing PAR1 to proceed to third. Just as PAR1 was halfway between third and second base the catcher picked up the ball and throw it to the third baseman. Instantly PAR1 made a b-line for the second base, and found himself in a pickle situation. While the third baseman threw to the second baseman PAR1 revered his direction and went back for his attempt at third. At the same time the second baseman threw to third baseman, just a little high making the
We raise money that goes towards research for treatments against childhood diseases. My first year I was on the production and marketing committee. We documented important events leading up to the marathon and kept a live stream going through the whole thing as well. My second marathon I joined the hospitality committee. I aided in the search to find local restaurants that would donate food throughout that marathon. The day of the marathon I made sure all the dancers were properly accounted for and received any information they may need. We organized food deliveries and eating times for over 30 different restaurants and 2,000
Staffing a school is the most important responsibility and service a principal has to attend and to provide a school. Students have a right to be taught by highly qualified teachers and in this case a highly qualified basketball coach. The case study #16 presents a situation where the principal has to begin recruiting to fill a basketball coaching position that has been long filled by two brothers that are ready to retire due to health reasons. The principal feels the pressure to have to fill this position, but finds it a bit challenging for a number of reasons—salary considered too low, not enough interest in “girls’ teams by the community, racial and gender concerns, and scandals in nearby district concerning males coaching girls’ teams. An athletic director for the high school suggests that she look into asking the parents of the players. (Kirschmann, 1996)
One of my primary interests is the formation of communities, especially those involving competitive environments, and even further should that competitive environment involve teamwork. Involvement in communities like them seem a fair pastime, and an effective device for the improvement of one's personality. American soccer and baseball were the two sports with which I was most involved throughout my youth, and it's through that participation I found the aforementioned to be true, and found too some friends I Imagine I'll cherish for the remainder of my life. Though sports such as
It all started when MaxPreps, America’s source for high school sports organized a camp for upcoming basketball coaches from various states where we had to be out camping for five days, during this experience we will collaboratively fulfill various tasks delegated to each team participating in the event.

South Secondary School students run the event. They go out and find corporate sponsor to fund the event. This ensures all funds raised go directly to the cause.
To begin, organizing school events requires not only leadership but also service as well. When you are organizing an event whether it be for school or other reasons, you have to take the lead and make sure that everything is going as planned. As well as making sure that everything is going as planned you also need to work at the event as well. This includes handing out items and directing people to where they need to go. Organization and service are both important things to consider when making school events function properly.

Sports have always been one of the major factors of the society and economy. Back in Ancient Greece, the homeland of the Olympic games, the Greeks believed that a healthy body was very important and sports played an important part of the society. Nowadays, the sport industry has grown to a direct and indirect economic impact of the countries, with organizations and sport events that have fans and supporters from all over the planet that are willing to spend a great amount of money in order to show their support for their favorite team, player or club. That happens because sports entertain people by watching their favorite sport teams play in some of the sports mega-events.
Planning and managing a sport venue during any event can be challenging even to the most seasoned facility managers. There are many factors that a facility manager must consider in order to ensure the event is a success. Success of an event can be measured in many ways across a wide array of topics; two of which are crowd management and alcohol management. Having a solid plan and operational controls in place for both can lead to a fun and safe environment for all parties involved with any event.
