Hey guys! CJ here and this is everything you would want to know about my genius project. So for my genius project I decided to make a giant 3 on 3 basketball tournament for the middle schools near Carlsbad. I got my inspiration from where I work and my passion for basketball of course. The City of Carlsbad hosts an annual event where all the middle schools get together and go head-to-head against each other. I absolutely love this idea and wanted to try and make an impact on the children at local schools so I sort of piggy backed on my job's event. I decided to call it the "Carlsbad Rush Tournament" and I found a picture (shown below) that I feel would entice children to want to come hang out and play some basketball. I called it "rush" because this will not be a typical 5v5 exhibition. I plan to go into each middle school individually and have them play against their friends and classmates 3v3 style while playing in a positive environment. Hence, the reason it is called "rush", is because the kids would be constantly playing as the games would be shorter in duration. Along with the games, spectators won't be left out as they will be encourage to cheer their children on. On top of going to all the middle schools, I also want to try and reserve my high school's gymnasium and hand pick a few kids from each school to play in a giant "all-star" game. The goal is to expose the kids to a high school basketball game environment before they get there and I feel they would have a blast playing in a giant gym. I plan to fundraise enough money or find sponsors to where I could have pizza, refreshments, and music but I know that this whole thing will take an EXTREME amount of work but I'm up for the task.
