Professionalism in Sport for All Management – a pilot study about the TAFISA CLC

Year 2016, Volume 4 - Issue 1, 31 - 45, 26.03.2016

Abstract

Based on experiences of member organizations in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands, for example, and based on the realization that quality in Sport for All programs and events depends on professionalism, “The Association for International Sport for All (TAFISA)” created and started a special education program in Sport for All Management in 2007 – the so-“called Certified Leadership Course (CLC)”. In a five days program, international and national lecturers (i.e. from the host country) are teaching between 25 and 85 participants in different topics about the development and management of Sport for All on local, regional, national and international levels. The participants themselves have sometimes more or sometimes less experiences in Sport for All Management. The evaluations are so positive that TAFISA – meanwhile supported by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) – is encouraged to continue with the CLCs and to develop an accredited Master of Arts (MA) Study Program in Sport for All Management together with partner universities.
