Abstract
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. The objective of this study will be
to describe the status of monitoring and evaluation on the sports programmes. A
questionnaire basing Management By Objective management model as the conceptual
framework will be administered. Target population for the study will be the 8 County
Directors of Sports in charge of sports ill their respective provinces, 7 sports officers at
the headquarters at Nairobi. It also includes nine officials from each of the 62 national
sports federations and associations who are affiliated to form Kenya National Sports
Council. This is a total target population of 573. Purposive sampling was used to select
active national sports federations. Eighteen national sports federations are active in all the
provinces. It is from the eighteen that 7 (75%) out of nine officials will be sampled to
make 126 (78%) respondents and a further, 7 (88 %) County Directors of Sports. This
gives a total of 140 respondents. Data will be ana lysed using Statistical Package I'm
Social Science (SPSS) to generate frequencies. This study will help to build national leve:
insight on performance of sports management in Kenya with view to improving athlete
outcome, provide a reading resource to researchers and scholars in field of sports
management and give insight to the sports management curriculum designers to
