BC​ ​Parkour​ ​Club​ ​Proposal​-​ ​Spring​ ​2009-​ ​Denied By:​ ​Matthew​ ​Milano​ ​`11 [email protected] Gregory​ ​Milano​ ​`11 [email protected]

Our​ ​Mission​ ​Statement

The​ ​goal​ ​of​ ​our​ ​club​ ​is​ ​to​ ​teach​ ​Parkour​ ​and​ ​share​ ​the​ ​philosophy​ ​of​ ​Parkour​ ​to​ ​the Boston​ ​College​ ​community.​ ​ ​As​ ​a​ ​non-competitive​ ​athletic​ ​group,​ ​we​ ​would​ ​focus​ ​on​ ​the development​ ​of​ ​the​ ​whole​ ​person​​ ​through​ ​controlled​ ​movement​ ​and​ ​environmental​ ​awareness. Our​ ​philosophy​ ​emphasizes​ ​safety​​ ​and​ ​respect​​ ​in​ ​all​ ​aspects​ ​of​ ​training.

Brief​ ​Definition

Parkour​ ​is​ ​an​ ​athletic​ ​discipline​​ ​that​ ​uses​ ​the​ ​natural​ ​abilities​ ​of​ ​the​ ​body​ ​(i.e.​ ​running, jumping,​ ​and​ ​climbing)​ ​to​ ​move​ ​through​ ​an​ ​environment.​ ​The​ ​philosophy​ ​of​ ​parkour​ ​teaches physical​ ​and​ ​mental​ ​strength​,​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as​ ​improving​ ​one’s​ ​self-discipline​.​ ​While​ ​focusing​ ​on the​ ​control​ ​and​ ​effectiveness​ ​of​ ​movement​ ​in​ ​Parkour,​ ​one​ ​progressively​ ​acquires​ c ​ onfidence and​ ​leadership​,​ ​through​ ​this​ ​strength​ ​of​ ​body​ ​and​ ​mind​.​ ​Through​ ​this​ ​state​ ​of​ ​mind,​ ​the practitioner​ ​perceives​ ​the​ ​environment​ ​with​ ​acute​ ​spatial​ ​awareness. The​ ​Parkour​ ​Club​ ​should​ ​be​ ​officially​ ​registered​ ​because​ ​Parkour​ ​is​ ​unlike​ ​any​ ​other​ ​club or​ ​sport​ ​that​ ​Boston​ ​College​ ​offers.​ ​Parkour​ ​is​ ​truly​ ​unique​ ​in​ ​that​ ​it​ ​incorporates​ ​a​ p ​ hilosophy akin​ ​to​ ​the​ ​discipline​ ​of​ ​martial​ ​arts.​ ​As​ ​a​ ​non-competitive​ ​athletic​ ​group,​ ​the​ ​Parkour​ ​Club​ ​would promote​ ​slow​ ​progression​ ​of​ ​strength​ ​and​ ​skill​ ​levels​ ​in​ ​order​ ​to​ ​stay​ s ​ afe​​ ​and​ ​responsible​. Parkour’s​ ​central​ ​philosophy​ ​focuses​ ​more​ ​on​ ​the​ ​internal​ ​struggle​ ​of​ ​conquering​ ​one’s weaknesses​ ​rather​ ​than​ ​the​ ​external​ ​struggle​ ​of​ ​a​ ​competitive​ ​sport.​ ​If​ ​the​ ​Parkour​ ​Club​ ​is officially​ ​registered,​ ​leaders​ ​can​ ​reach​ ​out​ ​to​ ​Boston​ ​College​ ​by​ ​reaching​ ​out​ ​and​ ​raising​ ​money for​ ​causes​ ​like​ ​cleanup​ ​your​ ​environment​ ​events​ ​(i.e.​ ​“Trace,​ ​leave​ ​no​ ​trace”).​ ​Not​ ​only​ ​would this​ ​help​ ​advertise​ ​the​ ​Parkour​ ​Club,​ ​but​ ​also​ ​give​ ​the​ ​club​ ​a​ ​chance​ ​to​ ​show​ ​its​ ​respect​ ​to​ ​the surrounding​ ​community.​ ​With​ ​Parkour’s​ ​increasing​ ​popularity,​ ​it​ ​would​ ​be​ ​essential​ ​to​ ​have​ ​safe hub​ ​for​ ​proper​ ​training,​ ​instruction,​ ​and​ ​practice.​ ​We​ ​believe​ ​that​ ​the​ ​philosophy​ ​of​ ​parkour reflects​ ​the​ ​mission​ ​of​ ​Boston​ ​College​ ​athletics.​ ​By​ ​using​ ​the​ ​Boston​ ​College​ ​name​ ​we​ ​also embody​ ​the​ ​school’s​ ​mission​ ​of​ ​developing​ ​the​ ​whole​ ​person​.​ ​Within​ ​the​ ​environment,​ ​club members​ ​would​ ​show​ ​respect​ ​for​ ​their​ ​own​ ​bodies,​ ​respect​ ​for​ ​property,​ ​and​ ​respect​ ​towards others​ ​who​ ​are​ ​sharing​ ​the​ ​environment. Events:​ ​A​ ​weekly​ ​training​ ​schedule​ ​would​ ​include​ ​two​ ​conditioning​ ​days​ ​and​ ​two personal​ ​physical​ ​development​ ​days.​ ​A​ ​“jam”​ ​is​ ​a​ ​meeting​ ​of​ ​practitioners​ ​in​ ​a​ ​specific​ ​location, hosted​ ​by​ ​a​ ​member​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Parkour​ ​community.​ ​The​ ​Parkour​ ​Club​ ​will​ ​host​ ​their​ ​own​ ​jams​ ​which could​ ​include​ ​on​ ​campus​ ​jams​ ​and​ ​student-funded​ ​trips​ ​off​ ​campus.​ ​Jams​ ​would​ ​be​ ​held​ ​two​ ​to

three​ ​Saturday’s​ ​a​ ​month​ ​during​ ​the​ ​fall​ ​semester​ ​and​ ​resume​ ​in​ ​March​ ​for​ ​the​ ​remainder​ ​of​ ​the spring​ ​semester.​ ​Other​ ​important​ ​events​ ​would​ ​be​ ​Student​ ​Activities​ ​Day,​ ​followed​ ​by​ ​Parkour demonstrations​ ​and​ ​beginner​ ​days​ ​for​ ​new​ ​members. In​ ​five​ ​to​ ​ten​ ​years​ ​the​ ​awareness​ ​and​ ​membership​ ​of​ ​Parkour​ ​at​ ​Boston​ ​College​ ​will increase​ ​in​ ​popularity​ ​and​ ​experience,​ ​possibly​ ​allowing​ ​for​ ​unpaid​ ​alumni​ ​to​ ​coach​ ​practices and​ ​club​ ​leaders​ ​to​ ​advertise​ ​instructional​ ​seminars​ ​for​ ​faculty​ ​and/or​ ​the​ ​Boston​ ​College​ ​Police Department.​ ​New​ ​young​ ​leaders​ ​will​ ​help​ ​develop​ ​our​ ​reputation​ ​on​ ​Campus​ ​and​ ​in​ ​Boston. While​ ​the​ ​club’s​ ​structure​ ​becomes​ ​more​ ​organized,​ ​both​ ​a​ h ​ andbook​ ​and​ ​a​ ​website​​ ​would​ ​be created​ ​for​ ​the​ ​purpose​ ​of​ ​sustainability​ ​and​ n ​ etworking​.​ ​We​ ​hope​ ​to​ ​expand​ ​our​ ​club’s diversity​ ​(i.e.​ ​genders,​ ​cultures,​ ​races),​ ​breed​ ​leaders,​ ​develop​ c ​ amaraderie​​ ​through​ ​traditions, and​ ​most​ ​importantly​ ​have​ ​fun.
