Description
In order to fully understand the role of the athletic health care administrator, one must understand the layout of a sports organization, from the president to the way that the groups or members function within the organization. One way to look at a sports organization is through a top-down approach. This assignment will allow for a comparison of a few well-known sports organizations’ governing bodies in terms of player health and safety policy development. You will discover how these governing bodies act, their roles and responsibilities, the resources provided to them as they determine protocols for player health and safety, and the impacts of policy development. Differentiate among health and safety policies as they apply to the level of play, division, geographic region, and sport.
You are to identify and research two governing bodies of the following sports organizations. You will write a paper comparing your selected governing bodies.
National Collegiate Athletic Association – NCAA
National Federation of High Schools – NFHS
National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics – NAIA
National Junior College Athletic Association – NJCAA
International Olympic Committee – IOC
- International Paralympic Committee – IPC
National Football League – NFL

Role of the governing body within the sports program in which they belong
- Responsibilities or what they do
Interactions with members of the sports program (schools/clubs/teams)
- Process for policy/protocol development
Resources they have to utilize in policy/protocol development
- Resources they provide to members of the sports program (schools/clubs/teams)
