Since grade 10 our school sports lesson are completely removed from the weekly timetable. For my CAS project, I decided to create a sports club for students from grade 9 onwards so students can still be active in this school. The aim of the sports club is to get students in the senior years a chance to participate in different sports each week, in school. The starting date for the club is 20th February. Every Thursday after school for seven weeks students will be required to stay back for one hour after school. The club is open to both girls and boys. The club is only open to students from grade 9 onwards. The times are 3 pm to 4 pm every Thursday. The first week will be for dodge the ball and the second week will be for football. The four sports option are; Dodge the ball, Cricket, Football, Badminton and a fifth sport may become an option if majority of the students vote for it. The Club aims to make students here more active and feel more involved, hence the introduction of voting system. The reason why I thought of a sports club is that students in other schools are involved a lot in sports, even though academics are important I feel that sports is an essential part of the week for students at this age, as it keeps them active. I choose to do a sports club over a fitness club because not everyone is interested in exercising and exercise can be done better in the gym and sports can make a person feel more involved and is more enjoyable.
