Description
Management of university campus recreational sport facilities has expanded in both scope and complexity in the 21st century and modern recreation and sport facilities offer high-end amenities for students, faculty, staff and often, the local community. Managing these diverse and complicated programmes and facilities requires knowledge of operations, client services and industry standards and this book addresses the unique skill set and knowledge base required of today's and tomorrow's, campus recreation and sport facility managers. Developed by the US National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA), "Campus Recreational Sports" offers the latest industry guidelines and best practices based on the knowledge, expertise and experience of leading campus recreation professionals across the USA. It is a suitable text for both current and future professionals looking for guidance in the management of indoor and outdoor recreational and sporting facilities.
