Fractional General Management

Grow Sport offers fractional general management services for sports clubs. We provide one of our professional managers to carry out management services to sports clubs on a part-time or contract basis. Unlike a full-time general manager who works exclusively for one club, a fractional general manager works on set timeline or periods, often on a project or to fulfil specific needs within the club.

Some of the duties are overseeing operations, developing the strategic plan, budget management that will grow the overall club development.

Fractional general managers bring several benefits to sports clubs.

• They offer flexibility, allowing clubs to access experienced managerial expertise without the commitment of a full-time hire. This can be particularly advantageous for smaller clubs with limited resources or those seeking specialized skills for short-term projects.

• The role can be carried out on-site, online or hybrid to accommodate the needs of the club.

• Fractional general managers bring a diverse range of experiences from working with multiple clubs, which can lead to innovative solutions and best practices being implemented.

• Their external perspective can offer valuable insights and fresh ideas to help clubs stay competitive in a constantly evolving sports landscape.

• Finally, hiring a fractional general manager can be a very cost-effective solution with bundles and project packages available. For clubs with limited budgets or looking at creating the position of general manager, this is a great way to engage for a period and review the benefits that can be gained from a professional manager’s expertise.
