Sports Facility Managers

The Department of Labor forecasts 6 percent employment growth for administration services managers through 2033, which is faster than the average for all occupations. In general, the future for facilities managers is much brighter than it is for those in other administrative services. This relatively young field is growing quickly and, especially in the private sector, is not as subject to cost-cutting pressures or as vulnerable to government cutbacks. According to a report by IBISWorld, there was steady, annual revenue growth in the indoor sports facilities management industry of nearly 7 percent from 2019 through 2024, and the market size is projected to continue growing through 2030. Demand for jobs in sports administration is great, and the newer field of sports facility management is quickly catching up. Sports facility managers with knowledge of sustainable business operations and practices will also be in demand in the coming years.
