"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.
