The implementation of sport policies and procedures at professional sport clubs at the university of the Western Cape

Abstract

The importance of having a structure in any sports code and following it ensures better functioning of the particular sports code. The management of sport is defined as "the study and practice involved in relation to all people, activities, organizations, and businesses involved in producing, facilitating, promoting, to organizing any product that is sport, fitness, and recreation-related; and, sports products can be goods, services, people, places, or ideas" (Parkhouse,2001). The running of a club should be looked at holistically and any flaws should be identified and corrected. This study explores the implementation of the sports policies and procedures of professional sports clubs at the University of the Western Cape.
