Recreational Sports in a university setting refer to intramural, extramural and sport
club programmes. As oPl?osed to highly organised sports programmes like
interscholastic and intercollegiate, recreational sports are for everyone in the
university community. There is therefore likely to be a high correlation between a
properly managed recreational sports programme and the development of university
Sports as more people are involved. This paper discusses some policies that, if
followed, will enable university sports administrators properly organise and manage
recreational sports, thereby leading to the eventual development of sports at university
level in Kenya.
