Abstract

From the perspective of “core competencies,” university sports clubs are transitioning from interest-based societies to educational platforms. This article systematically examines the current bottlenecks faced by clubs in areas such as governance structure, teaching philosophy, resource allocation, and evaluation/incentive mechanisms: ambiguous governance responsibilities, lack of curriculum stratification, shortages in facilities and instructors, and an evaluation system that emphasizes results over process. To address these issues, an innovative “four-in-one” path is proposed: organizationally, establishing a three-level collaborative mechanism involving the “university - college/school - club”; pedagogically, introducing a “big ideas + learning community” model to strengthen competency orientation; resource-wise, integrating on-campus and off-campus facilities, instructors, and social funding to form a diversified supply system; and evaluation-wise, implementing a process-oriented, visual, multi-dimensional core competency evaluation system supported by digital platforms.
