Summary/Abstract: Sports volunteering becomes increasingly important as different non-governmental organisations are getting more and more involved in organising and conducting numerous sports activities through partnerships and collaboration contracts with various sports structures. Volunteers fulfil formal functions in sports organisations at different management levels and thus become responsible for empowering collaborators with the delegation of tasks necessary to establish and achieve the objectives of a sports activity. The extension of leadership abilities specific to volunteer managers will largely determine the efficiency and completion of activities carried out by managerially subordinate volunteers. Several studies conducted over a century have tried to answer the question: what is the best leadership and what does an efficient manager do? Studies show that this problem cannot be solved by definitive truths or generally valid rules for maximum leadership efficiency. However, most authors and studies demonstrate a thorough knowledge of this topic, which is much superior to its recognition to the general sports public. The purpose of this research is to establish the prospective directions of efficient leadership in sports volunteering, to analyse leadership actions and to process data related to effectiveness in sports volunteering at different management levels in volunteer organisations. The research presents various management methods and techniques applied to increase the efficiency of voluntary sports activities. The main conclusions and directions of strategic action in the efficient leadership of sports volunteers are presented, as well as the importance of achieving the proposed goals, the effect of increasing responsibility and the role of efficient sports leadership.
