Background
Sport organizations require policies and procedures to guide various functions and operations. Policies are also created to help fulfil legal responsibilities, meet government and legislative requirements, and address needs determined by the organization.
What policies does a sport organization need?
Sport organizations require policies for various reasons including:
- The policy is required by law
- Members are frustrated by a lack of processes within the organization
- The organization’s leadership frequently changes
- A recurring issue requires a standard solution
- The policy provides a path to manage an issue from beginning to end
