"Working with Volunteers in Sport" is a comprehensive guide to the
issues surrounding the management of volunteers in sport
organizations.
The contribution of volunteers at all levels - from local clubs to
national governing bodies, right up to the Olympic Games - is at
the heart of sport throughout the world. Yet changing policies and
increasingly professionalized approaches to running sport are
putting volunteer cultures at risk. Good management and a clear
understanding of the way volunteers work in sport are essential to
protect and develop the role of this core group of people.
This text covers the key issues, including:
- The nature and scope of sport volunteering
- Sport development through volunteers
- Recruiting, managing and developing volunteers
- Specialists: coaches, officials, administrators and event
volunteers
- Legal issues
"Working with Volunteers in Sport" links theory with research to
provide clear guidelines for good volunteer management. For
students, researchers and professionals working in sports
management, sport development and sports policy, this book
represents a valuable practical resource.
