Abstract

University athletics is an organization composed and managed by students from one or more courses at a given university. Its function is to promote games, parties, engage new students and veterans, among several other activities. This article aims to know if the Athletics' managers use tools, managerial practices and knowledge in management and to identify the main issues related to difficulties in the management of the Athletics of PUC Goiás, besides verifying with the students of the School of Law, Business and Communication (EDNC) the importance of the Athletics in their education. The study is classified as to its objectives as descriptive research; as to technical procedures, as a data survey; as to data collection techniques, as a bibliographic research and the application of two questionnaires, where one of them was directed to the managers of the Athletes and the other to the students of the EDNC. Finally, the data were analyzed by means of qualitative research. In the end, with the results obtained, it could be observed that the managers of the athletic teams have a basic knowledge of management and administrative functions, but there is a need for improvement to improve the management of the athletic teams. As for the survey with the students, it can be concluded that the majority of the EDNC students know what an athletic club is but have never been part of the management. They know about the activities that are developed, but most of them have never participated in any event organized by them. They consider that athletics teams are important for the students' education, but they did not know that when the student participates in the management of an athletics team this can add to his/her professional resume. There are several positive points that the athletics brings to students, and thus aims the recognition of PUC Goiás as the athletics and development of partnerships for development of projects to add more and more the academic life of students.
