Q1. What’s my understanding of the Sport Pyramid? Give examples.
Sports pyramid shows the Structure of Sporting Organization, Government Systems in Sports and, explain what is sports/sport management. One example to explain the Sport Pyramid is the 2013 Sundown Marathon. It all start from the HiVelocity Events Pte Ltd.
HiVelocity is responsible organizer to manage the 2013 Sundown Marathon. But without a corporate sport support they could not run and start to plan the event. So somehow they have the support from Aviva that convince with their proposal and sponsor for the next 6 years. From there they start their plans and marketing alongside with their official partner, Koufu, NParks and Health Promotion Board.
Next is the officials that is support by Singapore Sports Council and Triathlon Singapore. They will bring up the rules n regulations that they need for the whole events. Event officials reserve the right, to modify, supplement or waive all or part of the event rules. New Balance became the co-sponsorship for the sports goods of the marathon. New Balance had provide the participants an exclusive New Balance event singlet alongside with other goodies. They also give out the New Balance Finisher T-shirts. This is all the sporting goods in the events that had been sponsored by New Balance.
Lastly is the Sport Development. The mass participation like runners, volunteers, medic and etc. 100 plus came in to join as the official hydration. Maxinutrition is the official nutrition. Nathan is the official hydration belt. Polar is the official training computer. And Seiko is the official timekeeper for the whole entire event. In total 30,000 runners took part over the two night event, including the corporate runners. This is one example of how the sport pyramid goes about.
