This book was released on 2004 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What attracts students to a college--academics? recreational sports? the campus recreation center? If you selected all three answers, you are right. Most students choose a college or university for its academic merits, but another key factor in their decision is the recreational sports programs and facilities. Recreational sports are an important component to students' quality of life on campus and to a college's recruitment and retention of students. The National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association contracted Kerr-Downs Research Associates to conduct a nationwide research project to determine the value of recreational sport on college campuses. More than 2,600 students from 16 colleges participated in this study, making it the largest representative group of college students from multiple colleges ever studied with respect to the value of participation in recreational sports. This study examined the value and contributions of recreational sports to participants' lives and documented the buying power of participants in recreational sports. The first of its kind in research, The Value of Recreational Sports in Higher Education makes a strong the case for campus recreational sports programs and facilities that will support the mission of your college into the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Sports and Athletics should be committed to providing a Sports For All Intramural Sports Program. The mission of Sports For All is to create added experiences for the school’s growth and development by encouraging involvement in the present, which will enrich and challenge the future. Competitive and recreational athletics are an integral part of the educational process and experience. Students should have the opportunity to participate and compete as appropriate to their interest and skill. Intramurals provide a co-curricular value by contributing to overall community satisfaction, involvement and learning within a diverse setting, improving student recruitment and retention by adding to the quality of community life and creating a venue for social interaction, integration and leadership activities, which positively affect spirit, mind, and body. As physical educators, we value the lessons that have long been taught by athletic participation: the pursuit of excellence through personal development and teamwork; ethical and responsible behavior on the field and off; adherence to the spirit of rules as well as to their letter; leadership and strength of character; and sportsmanship - including respect for one's opponents, acceptance of victory with humility, and acknowledgement of defeat with grace. In teaching these lessons to students, the Sports For All program will instill habits that will lead students to better and healthier lives. While winning is not an end in itself, we believe that the efforts by our intramural and intermural teams to be their best will lead them to success. Athletic participation is a way for students to grow and learn and to use and develop their personal, physical and intellectual skills. The entire Physical Education and Athletic Departments, including coaches, medical and training staff, facilities and equipment personnel, and administrators, would work to achieve these goals, honor the values of the school and support the principles of the Sports For All intramuralprogram. Physical educators believe that a comprehensive athletic program provides physical, social and emotional benefits that are vitally important in a highly competitive educational environment. Competition, in itself, is a dynamic that plays a vital role in life and is imperative to success. Since the number of students who can compete at the athletic team level is limited, each school should develop an extensive intramural sports program. Let Sports For All be that program!

Download or read book Recreational Sport written by Robert J. Barcelona and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2015-10-30 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are more opportunities than ever for employment in recreational sport, which means the need to prepare students with a solid foundation of the design, delivery, and management of recreational sport has never been more critical. Recreational Sport is designed precisely with that need in mind. This text provides a contemporary perspective of recreational sport management, offering a comprehensive picture of recreational sport management for people in or entering all sectors of recreation and leisure, including public, nonprofit, private, and commercial. “We saw a need for broad-based recreational sport programming that reflects the myriad of recreational sport activities and opportunities that are out there,” says lead author Robert Barcelona. “To meet those increased needs and interests, people need to have an array of programming and management skills in recreational sport.” Barcelona and his coauthors help readers gain those skills in part by simplifying the complicated process of designing and delivering programs in various settings in recreation and leisure services. They present a macrocosm view of recreational sport in communities—a view that reflects the most current, application-based research in the field. Their text places recreational sport squarely in the middle of the recreation and leisure curriculum and is supported by the recreational sport core competencies as developed by Barcelona himself. Those competencies are based on what recreational sport managers need to know and be able to do to grow and succeed in the profession, and they connect with the NIRSA recreational sport competencies developed in 2013. In addition, Recreational Sport offers the following: • Coverage for all age groups and sectors in a range of settings and contexts for recreational sport • International perspectives to offer students great insights into career opportunities • The latest theory, research, and real-world approaches to help both students and professionals who program sports • Case studies of real-world issues in recreational sport and examples of theory-to-practice applications The text comes with an array of online ancillaries that will prove invaluable to both instructors and students. The instructor guide supports and extends the chapter content and offers numerous ideas for learning activities, projects, and topics for papers. It also supplies chapter summaries, glossary terms, and links to websites that contain information for both instructors and students. The test package has multiple-choice, true–or-false, matching, and short–answer questions that can interface with learning management systems, and the presentation package offers a visual overview of the material to help students retain the concepts. “In teaching recreational sport for many years, I know that students first need to grasp the big picture of recreational sports,” Barcelona says. “We deliver that big picture in addition to information on design, delivery, and management that every student needs to know to succeed, regardless of what recreational sport organization he or she is a part of.” That big-picture element, along with the cutting-edge information on program design, delivery, and management,, sets this book apart. In the three parts of the book, students will be able to do the following: • Be grounded in the philosophical concepts that define the field • Learn about the core competencies they need to know to deliver successful programs and events • Gain insights about the settings and contexts where recreational sport happens and learn about key ideas, issues, and career opportunities in the field Recreational Sport is a textbook critical to students’ future success in recreational sport management, offering the big-picture view of the field while offering practical guidance in and real-world examples of successful design, delivery, and management of recreational sport programming.
