Pickleball tournament

LO3
This endeavor requires initiative and ownership from the beginning. Recognizing the need for a fun event with friendly competition, we investigated comparable events and devised a strategy appropriate to in limited time and setting and resources. This experience helped us strengthen our planning and organizational abilities, as well as our capacity to start and lead change.

LO4

There were several ups and downs. First of all managing the teamitself required perseverance. Explaining the rules and regulations was a tough task, since everyone was a tough job. We had to remain committed throughout.

LO5

The success of this event was greatly dependent on teamwork. We worked together to:

Create a coherent plan: We effectively communicated ideas, divided duties based on strengths, and ensured that all components of the event (activities, tournament) were properly organized. We were also accompanied by the event team. 
Delegate and manage tasks: We divided responsibilities based on individual abilities and interests, and we checked in with one another to assure progress. The 3 of us were assigned the duties of the main umpire/Referee.

Resolve problems collaboratively: When we encountered difficulties, we explored solutions as a group and implemented the best course of action.
This event improved our capacity to operate successfully as a team, recognize varied contributions, and reach a shared objective.

In conclusion, organizing a pickleball tournament was a wonderful CAS experience. This allowed us to improve our organizational and communication abilities. We learnt vital event management skills, but we also developed a better knowledge of the value of cooperation, perseverance, and initiative.
