Sport gives kids the chance to have fun, experience aspiration, as well as to learn social, motor, and intellectual skills that will provide benefits all through their lives. Enabling the delivering on these potentials is typically the job of sports organizations working at local, regional, national and global levels. Managing such organizations, creating, measuring and fine tuning frameworks and policies effectively over time, presents its own sets of unique challenges - and opportunities.
Every game happens by way of negotiation. Do you want to play? …what rules? …and so on. As events involve more people from more places, they require more resources that translate to bigger “stakes”.

Managing this process effectively defines the relevance of sports, how they can grow and gain more relevance while extending global reach and impact..
