Introduction to my personal project
For my personal project I want to organize a football world cup tournament. With the recent 2010 South Africa world cup being hosted I want to promote football and playing safely. Football has been around for a very long time. The reason why I’m doing this project is because football is very important to my lifestyle and me; football is also one of my greatest passions. Football has been around since mid 19th century and the rules that are still used today were set by Trinity College in Cambridge. Influence also came from Sheffield that played by their own rules, The FA (Football Association) that was set up in 1863 started absorbing the rules by which Sheffield played. The world cup which is now being hosted in South Africa started 80 years ago in 1930 when the 1st world cup event was being held. Only in 1942 and 1946 was the World Cup not hosted because of the 2nd World War. Brazil is currently the most consecutive champion winning 5 times so far. Also the next world cup in 2014 will also be held in Brazil.
My Area of Interaction will be Health and Social. I will not be focusing on the actual football itself, I will be focusing on the benefits of football and the rules, this is how my Area of Interaction will shape my Personal Project by focusing on the social and health aspect of football, for my Personal Project I want to teach people how to play football properly, not just by the rules but also how to be respectful to each other and what to do and not to do in certain situations. I will also be focusing on the health benefits of football, looking at how football is good for the body. Another major part of my project is how people get together during the World Cup or any other football games even though they might not know each other or don’t have very good relationships with each other. I want to teach this via a small World Cup tournament were teams get awarded extra points for respectful behavior and good sportsmanship.
The way I plan to reach this target or aim is by putting posters around the school so people can sign up, this will be for free because I won’t need to collect any money for anything because I can make use of the P.E equipment so I won’t need to buy anything for the tournament. This tournament will be held after school with the 1st day being held for qualification rounds and the 2nd day for quarter and semi final and after the final, the winner will get a prize and the team with the best sportsmanship will get the sportsmanship reward, even if they didn’t qualify, I will teach the students before the tournament starts about sportsmanship so they can show what they learned in the games. I will provide the prizes myself. The way I plan to teach people about the rules and behavior of how to play football will be through a video I will make along with posters and a power point, I also plan to talk the students and make examples and situations in the game where students will have to make the right choice on what to do.
