Sports competmons are as old as humankind. Many participant nations in the international scene and individuals alike expect good performance as an outcome. However, Kenya's sport performance especially in team sports at the international scene has for long been wanting. Taking most Kenyans citizens as the consumers of sport performance as leisure, recreation, and work or occupation activity, under performance could be attributed to sports management supervision practices. The mandate to manage sports in Kenya belongs to Kenya Ministry of Youth Affairs, Sport and the Arts; Sport Kenya and Kenya National Sports Council. They work through national sports federations who in turn work through sports clubs. The purpose of this study will be to explore the sports management supervision practices.
