Abstract:
In this paper, the authors address the role of implementing the principles of sports management in the performance of school volleyball teams in the Babil Education Directorate in the 2024-2025 academic year. The study fills a definite gap in the local literature since few studies have been conducted to identify the relationship between administrative planning, leadership, organization, communication, and evaluation to determine their effects on the technical results of youth sports teams. A descriptive survey procedure that is backed by the use of correlational analysis was utilized to examine the correlation between management practices and team performance. The study sample was composed of 140-165 participants that comprised of coaches, players, administrators, and supervisors which were chosen up by stratified random sampling. A validated questionnaire was used to gather data as well as technical performance evaluation forms that are endorsed by sports specialists. The statistical tests such as means, standard deviations, Pearson correlation, T-tests, and ANOVA showed that the number of coaches who had a high level of implementation of sports management concepts was high (60%). The findings revealed that there is a strong positive relationship between the implementation of management concepts and enhanced technical performance where the significant skills include serving, blocking, and spiking (r = 0.71, p < 0.05). Similar though significant differences were also observed in the school coaches of boys and girls in their favor, due to the advantage of better training conditions and resources. The outcomes of ANOVA also proved that teams that had coaches whose application in administration were high, worked much better than those who had lower administrative applications. The research concludes that sports management is a key player in the development of performance and suggests incorporation of structured management training, equal distribution of resources and continuous monitoring systems in improving the performance of school volleyball.
