It is important to understand which competencies are needed for managerial and administrative effectiveness of school sport managers with regard to the design, delivery and direction of school sport programmes. The purpose of this study was to determine the competencies and training needs for secondary school sport managers in the North- west Province of South Africa. Data were gathered from 79 school sport managers in the North- west Province by means of a validated self-compiled questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, factor analysis and a dependent t-test were used to compare which competencies school sport managers perceive as important in their work with the competencies they actually perform. Functional and core competencies were found to be important for managing school sport effectively. There were statistically significant differences between the perceived importance of competencies and the frequency with which competencies were actually performed. Respondents attached greater importance to functional and core competencies than the proportion of time spent actually performing them. Furthermore, results indicated the need to train teachers in managing sport finance, sport facilities and human resources, as well as presenting workshops in public relations, sport marketing and sport organisation. Key words: Competencies, functional competencies, core competencies, school sport manager, training needs.

This research study has fulfilled the purpose of determining the construction validity of the morale spirit scale (MSS). Ninety faculty members from colleges of physical education at Jordanian universities were chosen to participate in this study. An ex-post facto design is being chosen for this study. The MSS consists of 41 items that measure different dimensions of morale spirit among faculty members. Oblique rotation factoring principle axis was used to disclose instrument’s underlying structure. The major findings of this research study revealed six factor solution explaining 72.825% of common variances. All the six factors were accepted according to the conditions of accepting factors. These six factors were named morale as reflection of faculty and department’s administration, the relations between the faculty members, promotions and incentives and salaries, working environment and conditions, regulations and instructions, and the trend toward self and toward the college and university factors.
