PREFACE

The Handbook of College Athletics and Recreation Administration (HCARA) is intended to serve as an authoritative, comprehensive, practical, and informative resource for undergraduate or graduate students in a formal program of study in intercollegiate athletics and college recreation and for those who are helping prepare those students. HCARA is also intended to serve as a resource for professionals changing roles within the field or coming into the field from another career area.

The book is organized in three parts:

The authors contributing chapters to HCARA are among the leading names in intercollegiate athletics and recreation and represent a rich blend of practitioners, scholars, and scholar-practitioners. As a group they draw on their work in a wide variety of institutional settings and professional roles. Both their personal diversity and diversity of theoretical perspectives reflect that of college recreation and athletics.

The chapters in HCARA present theories and models of practice, cite classical and contemporary literature for support, and highlight issues in the contemporary professional administration of intercollegiate athletics and recreation. Each chapter includes a list of key points that can serve as either a study guide or executive summary, and case studies are shared throughout Part One and Part Two to provide opportunities to apply the information about professional foundations and skills to professional practice.

In addition to the main themes of the book, a great deal of effort has gone into assuring that the content of HCARA addresses both college athletics and recreation in a variety of institutional types, sizes, and athletics associations. The reader will also find that while topics such as ethics, diversity, and the law each have their own chapter, these issues are also woven throughout HCARA as essential considerations in all aspects of professional practice.

Audience

HCARA is presented to meet the needs of undergraduate or graduate students in courses or programs on intercollegiate athletics and recreation administration and to faculty members for those courses or programs. It is also intended to serve as a useful professional resource for entry-, mid-, or senior-level professionals in the field. Individuals entering into college recreation or athletics from another area or who are entering a new facet of recreation or athletics should find HCARA to be a helpful tool in their transition as well.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The Handbook of College Athletics and Recreation (HCARA) represents the collective efforts of a host of people who have contributed in a variety of ways. Each of those contributors has been in turn supported in a variety of ways by their own network of colleagues, friends, and family. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our contributors and their supporters, who provided invaluable support to us throughout our work on this project.

The idea for this handbook originated with Dr. Dudley B. Woodard, Jr., a faculty member in Higher Education at the University of Arizona (U of A) who, in addition to his many other forms of service to that institution, for years served as the Faculty Athletics Representative. Nearing his retirement, Dr. Woodard decided not to pursue the book project. Several years later George McClellan, a doctoral student at U of A and Dr. Woodard's graduate assistant at the time the project was originally discussed, took the idea up again with the editorial staff of Jossey-Bass. Over a decade after the idea was initially proposed it has come to fruition in the form of this book. We are grateful to Dr. Woodard for inspiring this project.
