FORMING AN EFFECTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE FOR IMPLEMENTING THE SPORTS SELECTION SYSTEM AMIDST PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION TRANSFORMATION

Abstract

The article is devoted to examining the role of forming an effective organizational structure for implementing a sports selection system in the context of public administration transformation in the field of physical culture and sports. In the current conditions of reforming management mechanisms and the growing digitalization of the public sector, there is an urgent need to update approaches to the organization of the process of identifying, evaluating, and developing sports reserves. It is substantiated that the existing system is fragmented, characterized by duplication of functions between various institutions, the absence of a coordination center, and weak interaction among key entities, including educational institutions, sports schools, local authorities, federations, and central management bodies. The article argues that without a clearly structured and coordinated system, sports selection loses consistency, predictability, and efficiency. The proposed model of organizational structure, which includes four interconnected levels, is analyzed. The national level is responsible for strategic vision, regulatory framework development, funding, and summarizing statistical indicators. The regional level is intended to ensure the integration of information flows, resource management, and analytical support for the selection process.The local level implements selection procedures at schools, clubs, and sports sections. The digital level is represented by a unified analytical platform that collects, stores, verifies, and visualizes data about athletes, enables the construction of individual training trajectories, maintains electronic profiles, and performs automated ranking and forecasting of prospects.The key elements of such a structure are defined: the presence of a national coordination center, a unified methodological base of selection criteria, a digital monitoring system, and a transparent model of interaction between public and non-governmental actors.
