Cricket is a sport near and dear to my heart. I’ve been playing cricket since I was a child, and it’s always been an important part of my life. I am a huge fan of the game and enjoy both watching and playing it. As my CAS project, I decided to host a cricket competition. I wanted to give back to the game that had so much given to me. I also wanted to demonstrate to my classmates that cricket is a fantastic sport. I organised the event, and I am pleased to report that it was a huge success.

The tournament was held on a turf. There was a lot of work to be done; we needed to reserve the available turf and do it at a reasonable price in order to have as many spectators as possible. We had to make an online poster for the event and promote it on social media as well. We kept the price each team at 2000, with the winner receiving 4500 and the runners-up receiving 2500.

LO1 – Identify own strengths and develop areas of growth:

Cricket is a sport near and dear to my heart. I grew up playing cricket in India, and it has always been my goal to one day create my own cricket event. As my CAS project this year, I chose to make that goal a reality by organising a cricket tournament. The competition was a big success, and I was able to discover my own strengths and places for improvement as a result of it.

I am incredibly passionate about cricket, and this was one of the most important assets I offered to the team. I was also very organised and detail-oriented, which aided in the seamless operation of the event. My communication abilities were one area where I found room for improvement. I am normally a really shy person, but the competition required me to step outside of my comfort zone and communicate with a wide range of people. I am pleased to report that I conquered that obstacle and am now more confident in my communication abilities.

LO2 – Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process:

Organizing and running a competition is one option to complete CAS hours. This was the task that my buddies and I took on for our CAS project. We had to learn not just how to arrange and operate a tournament, but we had to do it in a sport that only a few of us were really familiar with: cricket. It took a lot of effort, but we succeeded and learnt a lot in the process. We not only learned new abilities, but we also gained a greater appreciation of the value of collaboration and communication. It was a fantastic opportunity for us to collaborate as a team and use our various talents to achieve a common goal.

LO3 – Demonstrate how to initiate and plan a CAS experience:

Organizing a cricket tournament can be a great CAS experience. Here is how we initiated and planned such an experience:

Firstly, consult with your school’s CAS coordinator to ensure that organizing a cricket tournament fits within the CAS framework

.Once you have the go-ahead from your CAS coordinator, start planning the tournament. This will involve deciding on things like the format of the tournament, the number of teams, the venue, and the date.

Next, start recruiting teams to participate in the tournament. This can be done through social media, word of mouth, or by reaching out to local cricket clubs.

Once you have enough teams confirmed, start working on the logistics of the tournament. This includes things like creating a schedule, booking the venue, and arranging for refreshments.Then, make sure to promote the tournament so that people know when and where it is taking place.Next, it is necessary to set up a budget and find a venue.

Finally, it is important to promote the event and make sure that everyone is aware of the rules and regulations.

LO4 – Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences:

CAS experiences allow students to demonstrate their dedication and tenacity. As part of my CAS experience, I arranged a cricket competition, which provided an excellent opportunity to demonstrate both of these skills. The event was a success because of my dedication to seeing it through and my perseverance in the face of adversity. This experience taught me a lot, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of it.

The first thing we did was look for a good venue for the competition. The next step was to begin publicising the tournament once the location was confirmed. This can be accomplished through the use of social media, flyers, and word of mouth. The greater the number of individuals who are aware of the tournament, the more likely it is to be a success. Once the event has begun, it is critical to retain a professional demeanour and to be devoted to ensuring the competition runs successfully. This includes making certain that matches are played on schedule, that scoring is correct, and that players and spectators behave appropriately. The competition was a big success because of their dedication and endurance.

LO5 – Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively:

It was a terrific experience for me to organise a cricket tournament with my buddies recently. We had to collaborate to get everything done, and it was a lot of fun. There are numerous advantages to working together to achieve a similar goal. It is an excellent approach to develop relationships and abilities. Collaboration may also be a lot of fun. I would recommend that everyone try it at least once.

There are numerous advantages to working together in this manner. For one thing, it fosters teamwork. When you are forced to rely on others and collaborate to achieve a common objective, you learn to communicate and cooperate. This is a valuable skill to have in any situation. Another advantage is that it can be quite enjoyable! Working together to achieve a common objective allows you to bond with others and make lasting memories. And, of course, it’s always rewarding to see your efforts pay off in the end. Because the work is spread among others, the workload is reduced.

LO7 – Recognize and consider the ethics of choices and actions:

It is crucial to understand and analyse the ethical consequences of your choices and actions when organising a cricket tournament. There are other factors to consider, including the tournament’s influence on the local community, the environment, and the athletes’ well-being. It is critical to consider the potential risks and rewards of hosting a cricket event. You may build a tournament that benefits everyone participating with careful planning and awareness of the ethical implications of your actions.

We took safety precautions by not engaging anyone in a fight because it would break the flow of the competition, so we made sure everyone played pleasantly and friendly against each other. Another precaution was the existence of a first-aid kit on the ground. so that if any player is injured or hurt, first aid can be delivered quickly.
