Class Organization and Management of Sport

The Curricular Unit of Sports Organization and Managment is part of the curricular plan of the 1st Cycle in Physical Education and Sport and allows students to present the National and International Sports System, namely the different organizations and documents that govern it. Through research and collection of normative information related to the area of Sport and Physical Activities, students will know and recognize the different documents, national and international, that regulate Sport. They will be able to master the factors and stages of organizing sporting events and in this way they will be able to define, plan, organize and implement an action plan for a sporting event or activity.
