Gecko Inc.

For the past two sessions of Service, I have participated in Gecko Inc. This is a new service that had been brought up by our PE director Mr Shipley and is still in the course of taking form.
As we are initiating a NEW type of service, I have to work collaboratively with the other team members for this process to be successful, furthermore, i have to help in initiating the Service activity.
So far we have come up with a few ideas for what this service is meant to do, however our MAIN initiative is to enhance Athleticism in our school.
1) Publicity for SAISA sports
2)Hospitality for outside schools
3) Products for our Gecko Athletes
4) Something to help the Community
5) Teaching the Primary Kids how to play certain sports and introduce them to some

Originally, I did support the 5th option of helping the Primary children, however, we have to weigh out our options  it would be extremely difficult to control little toddlers running around in circles with limited parent supervision. Also, we have to host it on a separate date since most of our athletic facilities is already in use most of the time.

During our second session, this my preference had changed. I thought we should try to enhance OSC and other communities connections through our CAS. That was when i remembered about Community basketball last year. I did use it for Action, however, there was a problem as there was no one to initiate the games and organize anything. So, I thought, there are already people who are willing to come on Saturdays to play basketball... There is very little opportunity to find a good basketball court in Colombo for the Community to use, so why not revive the programme there was before?

As a basketball FANATIC, I thought we should help the basketball community in colombo to play the sport they love in a safe, controlled environment. Seems like a good service to me.
