Abstract

This study examines the efficacy of a sports management education program designed to enhance the competencies of administrators, volunteers, coaches, and judges participating in the organization of the East Java Young and Kids Athletics Competition 2025. The program's main goal was to improve the participants' abilities and understanding in overseeing athletic competitions. The study utilized a pre- and post-test approach to assess the program's effect on participants' abilities. The results indicated a substantial enhancement of 35.1% in total performance, illustrating the program's capacity-building efficacy. A participant satisfaction survey was done, indicating a high level of satisfaction with the program, reflected in an average rating of 4.48 out of 5. This favorable response signifies that the educational program fulfilled and exceeded participants' expectations. The results indicate that well-designed educational programs in sports management can proficiently prepare persons with the essential skills to oversee and coordinate large-scale athletic activities. This research demonstrates that such systems can improve the quality of sports event management, especially in youth athletics. The study's findings underscore the significance of ongoing professional growth in sports management to guarantee effective and efficient sports competitions. This research highlights the essential importance of ongoing professional development and strategic policy alignment within the context of the National Sport Grand Design, aimed at improving Indonesia's sports governance and promoting sustainable athletic excellence.
