Topic > Responsibilities of a Recreational Sports Manager

Recreational sports management is a highly disciplined profession and competition for jobs can be tough, so relevant academic qualifications and practical work experience gained by volunteering in organizations sports represent a clear advantage. During the course of my Master's in Recreation and Recreation Tourism program, I would like to gain experience in this field by working at the California State University Sports and Recreation Center. After graduating, my career choice in recreational sport was managing a professional tennis club and training center. I am confident that with the master's degree in academic management of recreational sports along with some practical experience, I will be able to find a job in the tennis club environment. I understand that it will take me some time to learn all aspects of management and operations of a tennis club, but I will eventually reach the position of manager. I would like to work in a sports facility focused on a specific sport, because it offers the opportunity to learn and develop skills in a less complicated environment. Tennis is one of the most recognized international sports, with numerous national and international competitions. I played tennis throughout high school and community college. I really like tennis as a sport and have a good understanding of its rules and regulations. Furthermore, I follow tennis tournaments such as US Open, Wimbledon, ATP tour, Davis Cup etc. Many parents enroll their children for initial training at tennis clubs to begin their professional careers, while many amateur and professional tennis players need a well-maintained facility for recreational play or training for competitions. Mary Helen Sprecher of Tennis Industry Magazine says… halfway through the article… institutional law works in the club environment. Now I understand the value of trademark and copyright and it can be useful to avoid conflicts or misunderstandings with other brands. But most importantly, this course warned me and advised me to be disciplined and avoid negligence in the field of recreational sports, because it can cause harm to other people as well as myself. This course showed me how to transfer risk through insurance and the consent form, which is an important help, but should not be overused or relied upon. I should do my duty to provide a safe, healthy and fun environment for club members and staff. Finally, the lessons from this course can be applied not only to the recreational sport manager position, but to any managerial job, where safety, the environment and the interaction of people are the primary concern..
