Abstract
This study sought to establish the effectiveness of sports administrators in Zimbabwean secondary schools. The main focus of the study was on sport administration expertise in the running of sport in secondary schools in Hwange District. The study employed the quantitative paradigm and adopted the descriptive survey design. The population comprised secondary schools in Hwange District. The sample consisted of all the 120 sports administrators. Of the sample respondents, 80% were male and 20% female. Data were collected using a questionnaire which had both close-ended questions and open-ended ones. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to interpret data. The study revealed that most sports administrators were hand-picked by heads of schools and there were no workshops organised to enhance their performance. The study also revealed that most if not all of the sport administrators were assigned other tasks that took most of their time away from sport administration. The study recommends that in order for effective sport administration to take place in the secondary schools, sport administrators should not be assigned any other duties that take most of their time and energy away from sport activities. The study also recommends that there should be staff development workshops and sessions by experts for teachers-in-charge of sports in secondary schools.
