Abstract
This is a case study intended to establish the sports
and administrative practices in selected schools and
colleges in Imo State of Nigeria". To carry out this task
several aspects of the School Sports administration were
studied in relation to the institutions. These aspects
included Personnel, sports Philosophy, Facilities and
Eauipment, sports programme administration, Financing the
programme, Public Relations and Evaluation.
Data for the study were collected from 84 out of 375
post primary institutions in the state. These institutions
were selected by method of stratified random sampling.
This method enabled the investigator to represent in
the sample every form of institution. Teacher Training
Colleges, Technical Schools, Vocational Schools,
Comprehensive Schools and Grammar Schools in proportion to
the number of such institutions in the state. Effort
was also made to represent institutions that exist both
in the urban and rural parts of the state.
The instrument for the collection of data included
questionnaire forms, interviews and personal observations
of the investigator. Pour sets of questionnaires were designed
for Inspectors of Education in the nineteen States of the
Federation, the Principals of the institutions
studied; the gamesmasters/gamesmistresses and the star
athletes. Data was collected from the Chief Inspectors
of all the states of Nigeria for comparative purposes.
The data collected, were analyzed and interpreted by the
use of decriptive statistics.
The data, when analyzed, revealed that thestate
has inadequate number of sports administrators
considering the student enrdlments in the institutions.
Moreover many of those available do not have
professional preparation. The trained gamesmasters are
concentrated in the few Teacher Training Colleges,
facilities and equipment are inadequate in the institutions.
The sports programme is poorly financed. Public Relation
aspect of the sports programme is sound. The sports
administrative procedures are in line with happens in
most other states of Nigeria and sound evaluation is
carried out in the programme.
Recommendations were made to improve the deficient
areas. Qualified Physical educators should be well
spread throughout the institutions. Refresher Courses
should be made available to all categories of sports
administrators, facilities and equipment should be
increased to reach more students and enhance mass
participation. More financial aid should be extended
to the programme. Sports administrators should be given
better remunerations while in-service training
programmes should be made available to them. Most of
these recommendations were given by the respondents
to the questionnaires. Relations between the
institutions and the community should be enhanced by the
use of the sports programme.
More areas of study were recommended.
