They are responsible for organizing, scheduling, and directing a wide variety of sports and recreational activities. They ensure that these activities cater to people of all ages and skill levels, while promoting the benefits of physical activity for health and wellness. The coordinator also oversees the operation of facilities, manages budgets, and hires and supervises staff.
