Ensuring a possibility of high quality training of students as sports volunteers for competitions in terms of organizing and running Universiade - 2019

Abstract

In the near future the Russian Federation has to undergo several major sporting events: the World Cup, Winter Student Games, etc. For the success of such large events thousands of volunteers should be recruited and trained, including volunteers for sports activities on the spot competition. According to experts the level of training of a significant part of the volunteers is not sufficient enough to carry out their activities effectively. The research is aimed at searching for possibility to prepare students for such an important sport and institutional component of volunteer activities as assistance in running the competitions in terms of the process of education in a Higher school. The research results indicate the high importance of practical experience in sporting events for young people aimed to apply for the position of a sports volunteer at the Winter Student Games – 2019. It turned out that students with practical experience in running and servicing the competitions have significantly greater chance (P <0, 01) of getting a positive response to the request on volunteering at the Universiade – 2019 in comparison with students without any experience. Techniques and methods of pedagogical influence in terms of the process of education may be used for more qualitative preparation of students for volunteering in sporting events. For example, classes on physical training of students, held in the framework of sports specialization training on the basis of sports chosen by those students, with some additions to the curriculum including practical assistance to students in the activities of the organization and running sports competitions in terms of the system of passing an exam on physical education, are quite suitable for reaching this goal.
