Management of sports in Kenyan public universities: a recreational perspective

Abstract

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.
