Management Models in Indoor Sports Installations

Abstract

The management of indoor sports facilities has become an increasingly relevant topic in Brazil, driven by the demand for spaces that integrate structural quality, financial sustainability, and social inclusion. This study explored how different management models have been implemented in these environments, highlighting achievements and weaknesses that directly impact the efficiency and relevance of these facilities in the daily lives of communities. The research gathered academic publications discussing strategic planning, the use of monitoring technologies, institutional marketing practices, preventive maintenance routines, and strategies to diversify funding sources. It became clear that, although there are positive examples characterized by professional teams and the adoption of performance indicators, the lack of integrated long-term policies remains a frequent issue, limiting modernization efforts and the consistent delivery of quality services. The findings also showed that accessibility, environmental sustainability, and social participation are important challenges still faced by managers. By addressing these aspects, the study contributes to broadening the discussion on how to prepare indoor sports centers to meet increasingly complex and diverse demands and proposes reflections that can inspire public policies and innovative management practices.
