The objective of this research is to come up with a proposed model that will be used to develop sports management in learning institutions in the Babil Governorate, according to the current trends in administration that promotes efficiency and effectiveness of the performance of the administration. The analysis of the present reality of sports management in these institutions regarding the organizational structures, the leadership styles, planning, and coordination of the collaboration of the relevant departments will start the study. It also aims at determining strengths that may be developed and weaknesses that must be treated in the form of development, which results in the creation of a combined administrative archetype in accordance with the demands of modern educational and sport development. The research has chosen the descriptive-analytical method, as it is appropriate to analyze the administrative and sports phenomenon in their practical settings. There were several research instruments that were employed such as scientific questionnaire, field interview with a group of physical education directors and teachers in Babil Governorate educational institutions. They were chosen in a representative manner; in other words, they guaranteed that different levels of the administration would be incorporated in the 2024-2025 academic year. The outcomes of the study were an adequate account of the truth about sports management reality that indicated a positive correlation between the implementation of modern management trends (including transformational leadership, total quality management, and employee empowerment) and the efficiency of administrative performance. The research also made a set of conclusions and recommendations that highlight the need to implement the suggested model as an efficient tool to enhance the processes of sports management and build the skills of educational leaders to reach the institutional and sports objectives more effectively and with sustainability.
