What is sport social work?

Sport social work is a specialized field of social work that focuses on supporting the well-being and development of athletes, teams, and sports organizations. Sport social workers address mental health, social justice, career transitions, and life skills for athletes at all levels. They collaborate with coaches, families, and communities to create safe and inclusive environments in sports. The goal is to promote positive outcomes both on and off the field for individuals and groups involved in athletics.

How do sport social workers typically collaborate with coaches and athletic staff to support athletes' mental health?

Sport Social Workers often work closely with coaches, athletic trainers, and team administrators to create a supportive environment for athletes. They provide guidance on recognizing signs of stress or mental health concerns and help develop protocols for intervention and referral. By facilitating open communication and offering educational workshops, they ensure that athletes have access to resources and feel comfortable seeking help. This collaborative approach helps address challenges proactively and fosters a culture of wellness within sports organizations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a sport social worker, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Sport Social Worker, you need a solid background in social work (often a BSW or MSW), knowledge of mental health, and experience with athletes’ unique needs. Familiarity with case management systems, trauma-informed care practices, and relevant state licensure or certification is typically required. Strong interpersonal skills, cultural competence, and the ability to build trust with diverse populations help professionals excel in this role. These skills are essential for supporting athletes’ well-being, addressing psychosocial challenges, and promoting healthy team environments.

Grand Rapids, MI • On-site

Full-time

Re-posted 23 days ago

Job description

Company Description
Sport & Social Group is looking for a new teammate! Although you won't find anyone wearing a suit, we take our business seriously. Join an active, hardworking, and dedicated team in the sports industry.
Sport & Social Group provides sports leagues for adults. The organization has grown to over 130,000 members playing in a huge variety of sports year-round and has a vision for growth of 1 million members playing in multi-markets by 2026. Currently, we operate in two U.S. cities and eight Canadian cities.
Grand Rapids Sport & Social Club is perfect for the Grand Rapids 18 and up, professionals. We offer a unique opportunity to meet other physically and socially active individuals. Ideal for people who may have recently moved to the Grand Rapids area or just looking for a reason to get out of the house on a weekday! From Dodgeball, Kickball, to Flag Football, everything we do is coed.
Candidates must be a great fit with the Sport & Social Group Core Values:
  • Chase the Vision
  • Deliver What You Promise
  • Take Pride in What You Do
  • Get Shit Done
  • Treat Everyone Like Your Best Friend
  • Find a Better Way

How We Do It
Co-ed teams play fun, non-competitive games of coed sports. After each game we all meet at our partnered bar for our club's social happy hour(s), where we'll receive substantial drink and food discounts!
GRSSC is for people who like sports, but LOVE to socialize! GRSSC keeps you active, introduces you to tons of new friends, and gets you out of the house on week nights. Grand Rapids Sport & Social Club is where Grand Rapids comes to play!
Job Description
  • Supervise and manage adult sports league at night
  • Building our brand through the use of Social Media
  • Taking photographs and video during events and leagues
  • Setting up and helping to maintain equipment, fields and playing surfaces
  • Creating a social experience and environment for league members
  • Ensure safe and responsible play during competition
  • Assist in managing league sign-ups and teams
  • Attend league social events
  • Assisting in managing day to day operations in the office
  • Establishing a relationship with vendors, facilities, and the community to support our growing brand
  • Develop new paths and opportunities for sponsor

Qualifications
  • Personality - Extremely Outgoing & Energetic (your personality is the client's first impression of us!)
  • A Details Freak - Taking care of the little details first makes putting on a big show easy!
  • No Fear - Be confident and motivated to call on and/or meet/work/deal with facility owners, company owners, media, and of course the Godfather of GRSSC.
  • "New Age" Mentality - We're not looking for mediocre and old-school here. We want someone who has fresh ideas, can work on their own without being micromanaged, and is good at developing and maintaining relationships.
  • Perfectly Seasoned - We are looking for someone who has a past experience with planning events on every level. Someone who is able to clearly represent the GRSSC to prospective businesses, while adopting our social and humorous yet professional attitude.
  • Well Spoken & Written - It goes without saying, but we'll say it anyway. You'll need to have strong self-monitoring skills, articulate, and able to clearly draft emails without typos and grammatical errors.
  • Software Knowledge - You'll need to know you way around a PC, especially, but not limited to: Microsoft Word and Excel, knowledge in Virtual DJ Pro, Corel Draw Suite x6, and basic web development (html) is a plus but we will train to help further develop!
  • Thick Skin - Ok, so we may become direct at moments and therefore we need someone who won't take it personally, but rather understand that we work in a fast-paced environment which sometimes need quick and direct communication. Also, we need someone who can take direction well. We know exactly what we want and how we want it done and we always want to work on how we can do things better. Some may call it constructive criticism, but we call it perfectionificaiton. (yeah, not really a word)
  • Wheels - You need your own transportation where you can, if needed, haul a few bins of equipment for sport leagues. Clown cars and vans with no windows are sketchy, but equally acceptable (we don't discriminate).

ADDITIONAL QUALIFICATIONS
  • Experience in facility management, recreation, sports management, hospitality/tourism management, or other related experience.
