Introduction

The Sports Outreach Organization aims at providing sporting activities so as to help the youth increase their physical health, improve academic potential, and overcome challenges that arise in their development process. This is significant in developing them into well-rounded citizens (Drazan, 2020). They will commit themselves until they cannot engage in drug abuse alongside other destructive engagements. Youth development is the priority for the Sports Outreach Organization. It works extremely hard to meet the expectations of its mission and vision statements. The organization seeks the ways possible to identify youth service opportunities (Gibbs & Block, 2017). We believe that we shall find time to engage with all youths in the rural areas fully. All the youth and the organization staff members should engage in various service projects during the year.

The activities assigned to various groups will be as follows:

Management committee

i. Looking for suitable rural areas where the youth should be given higher priorities.

ii. Moving the staff members to the specified location and providing all necessities such as rent for booked rooms and accommodation expenses.

iii. Seeking financial support from the government and other non-governmental agencies.

Executive Director

i. Paying random visits during the arranged match activities.

ii. Contacting every staff member to get updates on the progress of activities.

iii. Approving financial and performance reports.

Development Officer

i. Providing checks and balances to the top management team to avoid conflict of interest.

ii. Holding staff meetings from time to time to remind the staff members of the mission and vision of the Sports Outreach Organization.

iii. Advising on the gaps that need to be filled for effective execution plans (Jacobs et al., 2017).

iv. Locating emerging talents during match progress and coming up with ways of nurturing them.

v. Arranging for team building sessions aimed at fulfilling the organization’s vision statement.

vi. Providing necessary sports equipment like balls and clothing to the players.

Coaching Director

i. Hiring skilled and experienced coaches to make the sporting dream real. This will also involve training and monitoring them so that they can implement the practice sessions.

ii. Making random visits to the training grounds and noting the impact of the program.

iii. Meeting with the players, reminding them of the program's benefits, and encouraging them to do more.

iv. Making sure that all players have playing kits of good condition before a match starts.

Officiating Coordinator

i. They will be responsible for opening all matches and making the opening remarks.

ii. They will be registering the matches and ensuring that they are aired live.

iii. Making comments about previous matches.

Fundraising Coordinator

i. Accompanying the management committee in source funds from well-wishers.

ii. Organizing fundraising events as a way of pooling resources for the organization.

iii. Collecting the revenue raised from the match events and saving them for future organizational purposes.

Youth Players

i. The team members will be expected to report to the field one hour before the match starts. This will be important in preparing them to maximize their capabilities.

ii. Allocating roles among the club members. They will also be reviewing their registration kitty and setting rules and regulations as far as registration is concerned to enhance commitment.

When each group focuses on meeting its program expectations and allocated duties, the Sports Outreach Organization will achieve its desired goal and implement its comprehensive plan. The Bible states in the book of Proverbs 23:18, that "Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off." Philippians 4:6 says that you should not be anxious about anything, but when we put everything in prayer and supplicate thanksgiving, God answers our requests. The organization's management should believe in God and ensure that their program will always bring them success.
