Description

Professional and semi-professional sports clubs operate within governance frameworks that have real legal and regulatory implications, and many are managed by people who came into those roles through sport rather than organizational management. The result is often clubs that are well-run on the sporting side and underprepared on the administrative one — exposed to compliance failures, governance disputes, and operational inefficiencies that more structured administrative practice would prevent.

You’ll work with:

• Governance structures: board composition, decision-making authority, conflict of interest management, and the accountability systems that distinguish well-governed clubs from poorly governed ones
• Regulatory compliance: the key compliance obligations for sports organizations across different registration and competition environments and how to build systems that meet them consistently
• Staff and volunteer management: employment frameworks, role definition, performance management, and the HR practices appropriate to organizations that combine paid staff with large volunteer workforces

Duration: +/- 8 hours

Result: A working governance and administration framework suited to the specific organizational characteristics of a sports club — reducing compliance exposure and improving the operational reliability of the organization behind the sporting program.
