This assignment is a grant application submitted by a student for the MMS202 course, focusing on a sports development initiative centered around cricket. The application, titled "Sportable," proposes a three-day event in Brisbane, Queensland, designed for youth aged 12-18 with disabilities. The program aims to build confidence and address issues of low self-esteem and mental health challenges often associated with disabilities. The application outlines the program's objectives, target participants, implementation details, partnerships, budget, and evaluation plan. The program's design incorporates a functionalist sociological perspective to emphasize the importance of social participation and contribution. It highlights the unique opportunity to promote mental health awareness through cricket and offers a plan to monitor and evaluate the program's impact using personality tests and interviews before and after the event. The application emphasizes the program's innovative nature and potential for success in a country where disability cricket is not yet widespread. The program involves Cricket Australia, Brisbane City Center, the Queensland government, and the Gabba as partners.
