Proposal for a New Bowling Sports Team at My College Business Proposal

proposition describes the description of the requested new sports team: The bowling team. The school lacks a proper bowling representation, and the following document will explain the estimated costs, staffing requirements, locations, timetable, security issues, equipment and amenities, hours of operation, and the consequences of this fine university hosting a bowling team for the following seasons to come.

The objective of this proposal is to provide the university with information in order to determine if or when the school will have the capacity and the desire to host its own bowling team. The existence of a bowling team will encourage school spirit and the growth of interpersonal, teamwork, and communication skills for the students. The bowling team will create better morale and a greater dedication to the school, which could potentially raise education, population, and grade levels. Creating a new type of sports team could attract students and potential students from many varying demographics.

3.0 Background

Currently, this university lacks a sufficient bowling team. There are many sports teams and arts clubs are already in existence at the university, but none of which accommodate that of the bowling desire in the students. In order to attract and maintain yet another demographic to the school, this university needs to severely consider the allowance and creation of its own bowling team. The creation of the team will benefit the school, the students, and the faculty involved in the bowling team.

4.1 Estimated Costs

Because the bowling team's first year would require start up costs, a great deal of initial equipment would need to be purchased. Proper bowling regulation shoes may either be fully purchased or temporarily rented from a local bowling facility. As a school team, there will be a requirement for members to wear a team shirt or jersey during games. If renting the lanes from a local bowling alley, there will be a cost involved for time used or amount of games played. If transporting students to and from the local bowling facility, there will be a cost to provide school transit and a school bus operator.When practicing at the university gym, practice lanes, pins, and bowling balls will need to be purchased. As with all other sports teams, a health waiver will need to be created to eliminate university responsibility in the case that a student may be injured while functioning as a member of the bowling team. The legal costs to create this document will also be a portion of the new bowling team estimated costs. Finally, at the end of the season, the students will desire a prize or trophy for their commendable efforts, and this will be a financial responsibility as well.

A number of these costs are not required to be the university's responsibility. The university may require a surcharge to be paid for joining the team that will cover most costs, including team members' own lane, shoe, and jersey fees. However, some charges, like that of the health waiver, should be paid for by the university.

4.2 Staffing Requirements

School teams are required to have a university staff member present as head or assistant coach. The bowling team will most likely be an intimately small team, and will only require one head coach. For the role of the assistant coach, a student bowler may volunteer. If a student does not volunteer or more than one student volunteers, a vote will be cast and the determined student that is elected as president or captain of the team will serve as the assistant coach. Lastly, a student lead treasury department will need to be appointed in order to handle and budget all costs relayed in the Estimated Costs section of this proposal.

4.3 Locations

There are three opportunities in the surrounding area for venue practice and game locations. First, the bowling team may agree to transport itself to a local public bowling alley. Secondly, the team may decide to practice at the school location on….....
