Abstract
The poor sports performance in Tanzania has been the main reason towards the conduct of this study on assessing the Effectiveness of Sports administration in Tanzania: A case of Public Secondary Schools in Morogoro Municipality. Various researches have been conducted but the gap is still there because they have failed to clearly show to why Sports in Africa, specifically in Tanzania enter into trouble. Therefore the study using the theory bureaucracy of Max Weber has been done to supplement present knowledge. The variables which were put under investigation were the quality of the sports administrators, the organisation of the sports activities, relationships of sports activities and structures and the influence of policy in sports activities; the variables which are analysed in the theory of bureaucracy. In order to reach to the objectives of the study, case study research design was used and the researcher selected only 60 respondents from the population of 14814 sports stakeholders. The sample size was obtained purposively, under stratified random sampling and under simple random sampling. On the aspect of data collection, the study employed both primary and secondary methods of data collection. The data collected have been analyzed by various statistical means like frequency and percentages Moreover, the study identified the most common problems related to sports administration so that the government and the sports stakeholders know the problems surrounding them. The problems identified are poor sports administrators, poor sports organisation, poor sports relationships and poorly formulated sports policies that
undermine the progress of sports activities in Tanzania. The ways on how to combat these problems have also been disclosed in this study like having well qualified sports administrators, well formulated sports policies, well organized activities and effectively related sports structures. If these are done, Tanzania may shine in the international competitions like other countries like Brazil, England, etc.
