Amateur sports clubs (ASCs) play a crucial role in multiple sports delivery systems around the world. The ASCs contribute to the achievement of objectives related to multiple dimensions, such as sports missions (leisure, training, competition) as well as social missions related or not related to sport such as integration, youth, health, leisure, education. The multiple external and internal challenges that CSAs must face can lead to a change in organizational goals and dysfunctions. Based on a cross-national comparative analysis of amateur sports clubs in France and Argentina, the main results show the convergences and divergences in sports clubs and the challenges they face in these two countries. From a management point of view, this research should help the sports institutions involved to inspire how to support and guide policies adapted to another model of organization.
Resumen
Los clubes deportivos amateurs (ASC) desempeñan un papel crucial en múltiples sistemas de entrega deportiva en todo el mundo. Los ASC contribuyen a la consecución de objetivos relacionados con múltiples dimensiones, como las misiones deportivas (ocio, formación, competición) así como las misiones sociales relacionadas o no con el deporte como la integración, la juventud, la salud, el ocio, la educación. Los múltiples desafíos externos e internos que los ASC tienen que enfrentar pueden conducir a un cambio en los objetivos de la organización y a disfunciones. A partir de un análisis comparativo transnacional de clubes deportivos amateurs en Francia y Argentina, los principales resultados muestran las convergencias y divergencias en los clubes deportivos y los desafíos que enfrentan en estos dos países. Desde el punto de vista de la gestión, esta investigación debería ayudar a las instituciones deportivas implicadas a inspirar la forma de apoyar y orientar las políticas adaptadas a otro modelo de organización.
