ABSTRACT
As the name specifies SPORTS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM is a software developed for
managing sports activities in Achimota school. For the past few years the numbers of
educational institutions are increasing rapidly. Thereby the number of sports are also
increasing for students studying in the school. And hence there is a lot of strain on the person
who is in charge of manually entering the records of the sports activities in the school and
this manual way has been a big problem in the school. This particular project deals with
problems on managing the sports activities in Achimota School and avoids the problems
which occur when carrying it out manually. Identification of drawbacks of the existing
system leads to designing a computerized system that will be compactible to the existing
system. The system which is more user-friendly and more graphical user interface oriented.
We can improve the efficiency of the system, thereby, overcoming the drawbacks of the
existing system.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODCUTION
1.1 Background
1.1.1 Brief history of the case
Achimota School (formerly Prince of Wales School Achimota, nicknamed Motown, is a coeducational boarding school located at Achimota in Accra, Greater Accra, Ghana. The school
was founded in 1924 by Sir Frederick Gordon Guggisberg, Dr. James Emman Kwegyir
Aggrey and Rev. Alexander (Alec) Garden Fraser. It was formally opened in 1927 by Sir
Frederick, then Governor of the British Gold Coast colony. The school has educated many
African leaders, including Kwame Nkrumah, Edward Akufo-Addo, Jerry John Rawlings,
and John Evans Atta Mills all of whom are former Heads of State of Ghana. The
current President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, is also an alumnus of Achimota School.
Former Prime Minister of Ghana Dr. Kofi Abrefa Busia taught at Achimota. Also included in
its list of African heads of state are Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe and Sir Dawda
Jawara, first head of state of The Gambia. An alumnus/alumna of Achimota is known as an
"Akora".(http://wikipedia.com)
The motto of the school is Ut Omnes Unum Sint meaning "That all may be one", a reference
to the founders' expressed philosophy that starting in the context of school life, black and
white, male and female, everyone should integrate and combine synergistically for the good
of all. The stylised piano-key design of the Achimota School crest was described by Aggrey
at the time: "You can play a tune of sorts on the black keys only; and you can play a tune of
sorts on the white keys only; but for perfect harmony, you must use both the black and the
white keys".
The backbone of every organization is its I.T support. Currently, Motown has a manual
system which manages sports and all the activities that involves sports. On the other hand, all
this practice is done manually. There is therefore a need to computerize this sports
management system to improve sport management in the school. (http://wikipedia.com)
1.2
Statement of the problem
Since the establishment of Achimota School in the year 1927 till date, the sports department
uses a manual system when transacting its day-to-day operations. The record keeping of data
on the sports men and women who take part in sporting activities for school, the registration
of new members, updates on sporting events and other activities are done manually. However
there are several problems associated with the existing manual system.
These problems are as follows:
1.2.1 Duplication of Records of Data
With the manual system, a sport man or woman can be registered one or two times without
noticing and causes the sports management cost. Hence, this leads to the duplication of data.
1.2.2 Delay in retrieval of information
As a result duplication of data, it is very difficult to retrieve information and this takes a great
deal of time. The registration forms must be searched through one after the other until the
needed record is found.
1.2.3 Difficulty in Tracking of sports men, women and sport managers

when they are out of school
Information concerning sports Sport Men and Women and managers are difficult to track if
the records keeping book cannot be found. Also, the book does not contain enough
information about the sports men, women and their managers such as phone number and
residential address and this makes it very difficult to track these heroes and heroine of the
school in times of need.
1.2.4 Loss of Records of Data
Information concerning the sports men, women and mangers and registration of new able
sports men is hand written on sheets and kept for referencing and future use. These sheets can
easily get lost or mixed up and this will increase the duties of record in case they need to
search for records concerning a particular sports men or managers.
1.2.5 Lack of Security (sportsmen and managements Records)
Most of the records of the workers and student are currently kept at the front desk for easy
referencing by the record staff of the sport school. This way anybody can easily have access
to the records and this makes them unsecured especially when the record is to leave the front
desk for a while.
1.3 Challenges sportsmen and management face due to Manual
System
Aside these problems, the manual system poses several challenges to student and the staff of
the School. These challenges are explained below.
1.3.1 Registration of student
Achimota School, registration of sports men and women is done manually. When new
Sport Men and Women arrive, they are registered on sheets of papers called a work
form which carries all needed information about Sport Men and Women. Information
recorded concerning each book is listed below:
Name of student
Age of student
Gender
sports
Date of Birth
1.3.2 Shelving of records:
After the recording of the details of the Sport Men and Women, they are shelved according to
the department and index number of the Sport Men and Women. Shelves are done according
to letter and number; to help identify shelve number where a particular book is found.
1.3.3 Sport Men, Women and management registration
During a new academic year, Sport Men and Women register by filling the students
registration form. Sport Men and Women register their respective disciplines.
1.4 General objectives of proposed system
The general objective and significance of the proposed system is the development of sports
management system that can be used for the record management, registration of Sport Men,
Women, management, and sporting events in the Achimota School.
1.5 Specific objectives of the proposed system

The specific objectives of this system are mentioned below:
To make information like sport events easily accessible to Sport Men

and Women.
To enhance the administrative staff (records) to easily retrieve

information concerning Sport Men and Women and manage
To try to reduce the probability of inconsistency
To improve backup and recovery service
To equip the security of the data.
1.6 Research questions

I.
II.
III.
How do we equip the se curity of the data?

How to improve back up on recovery services
What do we need to enhance the administrative staff(records) to easily retrieve
information
1.7 Significance of the study

The above research is of much relevance or use to Achimota School in Ghana as well as staff
and Sport Men and Women of the institution for effective decision making in the area of
5
records management in educational institution. It could also be an effective database for

reference both educational institution and non-educational institution.
1.8 Scope of the study

Our study is on Achimota School in Ghana as well as staff and Sport Men and Women of the
institution. The following aspect of the School administration is been computerized:
Registry
Records department
Updates of sports events
1.9 Limitations of the study.
The managements, staffs and the senior prefects were not always available for
the interview.
Poor access to the internet on campus.

CHAPTER TWO
LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Definition of sports
Sport (or sports) is all forms of usually competitive physical activity which, through casual or
organized participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability and skills while
providing entertainment to participants, and in some cases, spectators. Hundreds of sports
exist, from those requiring only two participants, through to those with hundreds of
simultaneous participants, either in teams or competing as individuals.
Sport is generally recognized as activities which are based in physical athleticism or
physical dexterity, with the largest major competitions such as the Olympic Games admitting
only sports meeting this definition, and other organizations such as the Council of
Europe using definitions precluding activities without a physical element from classification
as sports. However, a number of competitive, but non-physical, activities claim recognition
as mind sports. The International Olympic Committee (through ARISF) recognizes
both chess and bridge as bona-fide sports,
and Sport
Accord,
the
international
sports
federation association, recognizes five non-physical sports, although limits the amount of
mind games which can be admitted as sports. (Georgia: International Association of Tourists
and Travelers School)
Sports are usually governed by a set of rules or customs, which serve to ensure fair
competition, and allow consistent adjudication of the winner. Winning can be determined by
physical events such as scoring goals or crossing a line first, or by the determination of
judges who are scoring elements of the sporting performance, including objective or
subjective measures such as technical performance or artistic impression.
In organized sport, records of performance are often kept, and for popular sports, this
information may be widely announced or reported in sport news. In addition, sport is a major
source of entertainment for non-participants, with spectator sport drawing large crowds to
venues, and reaching wider audiences through broadcasting.
According to A.T. Kearney, a consultancy, the global sporting industry is worth up to $620
billion as of 2013.
2.2 Etymology
"Sport" comes from the Old French desport meaning "leisure", with the oldest definition in
English from around 1300 being "anything humans find amusing or entertaining".
Other meanings include gambling and events staged for the purpose of gambling; hunting;
and games and diversions, including ones that require exercise. Roget's defines the noun sport
as an "activity engaged in for relaxation and amusement" with synonyms including diversion
and recreation.
2.3 Nomenclature
The singular term "sport" is used in most English dialects to describe the overall concept (e.g.
"children taking part in sport"), with "sports" used to describe multiple activities (e.g.
"football and rugby are the most popular sports in England"). American English uses "sports"
for both terms
2.4 Game and definitions

The precise definition of what separates a sport from other leisure activities varies between
sources. The closest to an international agreement on a definition is provided by Sport
Accord, which is the association for all the largest international sports federations (including
association football, athletics, cycling, tennis, equestrian sports and more), and is therefore
the de facto representative of international sport.( Kenneth, C. Loudon & Jane, P.Loudon
(2010). Management Information Systems. USA: John willey & Sons Inc)
Sport Accord uses the following criteria, determining that a sport should:
have an element of competition
be in no way harmful to any living creature
not rely on equipment provided by a single supplier (excluding proprietary games

such as arena football)
not rely on any "luck" element specifically designed into the sport
They also recognize that sport can be primarily physical (such as rugby or athletics),
primarily mind (such as chess or go), predominantly motorized (such as Formula 1 or power
boating), primarily co-ordination (such as billiard sports), or primarily animal-supported
(such as equestrian).
There has been an increase in the application of the term "sport" to a wider set of nonphysical challenges such as electronic sports, especially due to the large scale of participation
and organized competition, but these are not widely recognized by mainstream sports
organizations.
10
2.5 Competition
There are opposing views on the necessity of competition as a defining element of a sport,
with almost all professional sport involving competition, and governing bodies requiring
competition as a prerequisite of recognition by the International Olympic Committee (IOC)
or Sport Accord.
Other bodies advocate widening the definition of sport to include all physical activity. For
instance, the Council of Europe includes all forms of physical exercise, including those
completed just for fun.
In order to widen participation, and reduce the impact of losing on less able participants,
there has been an introduction of non-competitive physical activity to traditionally
competitive events such as school sports days, although moves like this are often
controversial.
In competitive events, participants are graded or classified based on their "result" and often
divided into groups of comparable performance, (e.g. gender, weight and age). For each
group, the first in the list will usually be the "winner". The measurement of the result may be
objective or subjective, and corrected with "handicaps" or penalties. In a race, for example,
the time to complete the course is an objective measurement. In gymnastics or diving the
result is decided by a panel of judges, and therefore subjective. There are many shades in
between, like boxing or mixed martial arts, where victory is assigned by judges if neither
competitor has lost at the end of the match time. (http://wikipedia.com)
11
2.6 History of sports

There are artifacts and structures that suggest that the Chinese engaged in sporting activities
as early as 2000 BC. Gymnastics appears to have been a popular sport in China's ancient past.
Monuments to the Pharaohs indicate that a number of sports, including swimming and
fishing, were well-developed and regulated several thousands of years ago in ancient
Egypt. Other Egyptian sports included javelin throwing, high jump, and wrestling. Ancient
Persian sports such as the traditional Iranian martial art of Zourkhaneh had a close connection
to the warfare skills. Among the sports that originate in ancient Persia are polo and jousting.
Motorized sports have appeared since the advent of the modern age
A wide range of sports were already established by the time of Ancient Greece and the
military culture and the development of sports in Greece influenced one another considerably.
Sports became such a prominent part of their culture that the Greeks created the Olympic
Games, which in ancient times were held every four years in a small village in
the Peloponnesus called Olympia.
Sports have been increasingly organized and regulated from the time of the ancient Olympics
up to the present century. Industrialization has brought increased leisure time to the citizens
of developed and developing countries, leading to more time for citizens to attend and follow
spectator sports, greater participation in athletic activities, and increased accessibility. These
trends continued with the advent of mass media and global communication. Professionalism
became prevalent, further adding to the increase in sport's popularity, as sports fans began
following the exploits of professional athletes through radio, television, and the internet all
while enjoying the exercise and competition associated with amateur participation in sports.

2.7 Fair play

2.7. 1 Sportsmanship
Sportsmanship is an attitude that strives for fair play, courtesy toward teammates and
opponents, ethical behavior and integrity, and grace in victory or defeat.
Sportsmanship expresses an aspiration or ethos that the activity will be enjoyed for its own
sake. The well-known sentiment by sports journalist Grant land Rice that it's "not that you
won or lost but how you played the game", and the modern Olympic creed expressed by its
founder Pierre de Coubertin: "The most important thing is not winning but taking part" are
typical expressions of this sentiment. (http://wikipedia.com)
2.7.2 Cheating
Key principles of sport include that the result should not be predetermined, and that both
sides should have equal opportunity to win. Rules are in place to ensure that fair play to
occur, but participants can break these rules in order to gain advantage.
Participants may choose to cheat in order to satisfy their desire to win, or in order to achieve
an ulterior motive. The widespread existence of gambling on the results of sports fixtures
creates the motivation for match fixing, where a participant or participants deliberately work
to ensure a given outcome. (http://google.com)
13
2.7.3 Doping and drugs

The competitive nature of sport encourages some participants to attempt to enhance their
performance through the use of medicines, or through other means such as increasing the
volume of blood in their bodies through artificial means.
All sports recognized by the IOC or Sport Accord are required to implement a testing
programmer, looking for a list of banned drugs, with suspensions or bans being placed on
participants who test positive for banned substances. (http://wikipedia.com)
2.7.4 Violence
Violence in sports involves crossing the line between fair competition and intentional
aggressive violence. Athletes, coaches, fans, and parents sometimes unleash violent behavior
on people or property, in misguided shows of loyalty, dominance, anger, or
celebration. Rioting or hooliganism is common and ongoing problems at national and
international sporting contests. (http://wikipedia.com)
2.8 Sports management system

A sport management system is a database system used to manage sports men, women,
management and update of sports events on the sports calendar.
Database Systems are designed to store large bodies of information. Both the definition of
structure for the storage of information and the provision of a mechanism for manipulation of
information are inclusive.
14
For the purpose of the database system which is been shared by several users, the system
avoids possible anomalous results. The primary purpose of a database system is to provide
users with an abstract view of the data and that the system should hide certain details of how
the data are stored and maintained. (Silberschatz, Korthon Sunorshan, 1999).
A computer has been a very powerful tool for sports which providing management access to
information about sports and other sporting activities. (Murdock, 1995)
Countless number of databases has been developed by professionals to see to the day to day
activities which include the problems faced every day. According to Begg (2005), databases
are accessed in supermarkets when buying goods. For this reason, the check-out assistant
uses the bar code reader to scan purchased item which is linked to an application program.
This application program uses the bar code reader to find all the prices of the item from a
product database. It simultaneously reduces the number of such items in stock and display the
price on the cash register.
Beggs further talked about the use of database by travel agent to search for information or
make enquiries. All the necessary booking arrangement when a person books for holiday is
accurately done by the database system. The database system ensures that two different
people do not book the same holiday or over book the seats on the flight. In most
circumstances, the travelling agency may have another database for invoicing.
There are also library databases that are created with details of the books in a library, the
readers, reservations and other activities. These databases contain a computerized index that
allows readers to find a book based on its title or its subject area.
The database also handles reservation to allow a reader reserve a book and to be informed by
mail when the book is available and also send reminders to borrowers who have failed to
15
return books by the due date. These systems have bar code reader similar to that of the
supermarket described earlier by Begg (2005), used to monitor the to and fro movement of
books in and out of the library.
The systems mentioned above are already developed in use for various purposes. There have
been a couple of developments associated with the sports management systems. The sport
management system which is being designed and developed will involve sites for readers
with the purpose of research for information. (http://wikipedia.com)

CHAPTER THREE
METHODOLOGY AND DESIGN

3.1 Introduction
This section is simply to describe how we would gather our information, the programming
language and the database we would use to create the proposed system
3.2The system development life cycle (waterfall model)
System development cycle is a conceptual model that describes the stage involved in an
information system development project, from an initial feasibility study through the
maintenance of the completed application.
Fig 3.1: SDLC DIAGRAM

17
3.2.1 Development stage
The system development is divided into four major phases which describes the methodology
used in this research. They are;
System planning
System analysis
System design
System implementation
The development of the project started when one identifies the user and objectives of the
project. The in house prototype was designed based on the suggestion of customers and
workers of the fashion house. Phases of analysis, design and implementation were performed
iteratively until used and designed (the project team) agreed on a final system specification.
This point, the final stage is the implementation phase.
The advantage of this approach was that a draft system could be provided to users to interact
quickly. The user was lightly involved in every phase of the project and feedback during the
process furthered our understanding of the system requirement and objectives and helped us
avoid potential problems. Since they participated in the process of analysis, design and
implementation, the users were more likely to be satisfied with the final system.
(http://wikipedia.com)
18
3.2.1.1
System planning
The first stage was project initiation. The objective of the software was to enable Sport Men
and Women and management to view details of sports activities at a particular time and
improve its consistency. We also determined the features of the system needed for such a
database and which way we could achieve it. The key objective for this project was to
develop a database platform that effectively manage and run the sports. The project team
determines a work plan during the planning phase. (Design work, 2014)
3.2.1.2 System analysis
Under this stage investigating of processes and determining what the new system perform in
accordance with the objective achieved. This is achieved through the adoption of a fact
finding technique which are interview and observation. To build a user centered system what
the team determined in the analysis phase which the fact finding technique, interview and
observation where the target. After a comprehensive user analysis, potential users were listed
as follows:
Sport Men and Women
Students of Achimota
Teachers
Achimota schools prefects
House masters/ mistress
Senior house mistress/ master
19
Assistant house Master East compound
Assistant house Master West compound
Administrators
Managers
3.2.1.3
DATABASE DESIGN
The next step was to examine the existing School database and comparing it to model the
database which was identifies based on the iterative review of effective database design
technique.
The design of the database interface

The result of the database
User friendly requirement
The fact finding technique was adopted as follows:
It is more personal and familiar

It provides staff, management and customers the opportunity to make suggestion
3.2.2 Source of Data
Data was collected from the Achimota School. The objective of this project is to solve the
problems pertaining to the Achimota hence it is appropriate to use the School as the source of
data.
20
3.2.2.1
Methods of Interview
Sport Men and Women, Student of Achimota, teacher, Achimota Schools perfects, house
master or mistress, senior house mistress or master, assistant house master East Compound,
Assistant house master west, administrators and sports managers were interviewed to find out
the functions they would like hence the software is developed.
From personal observation, we have identified major problems and the possible needed
solutions the School needs in order to provide reliable, consistent and adequate services for
customers and software where identified.
From the information gathered, the appropriate activities to develop the management system
are:
3.2.3
Programming language
We used MySQL and visual basic to design the software.

The proposed computer software intends to go through the formal severity or rigors of
professional software development life cycle. The system life cycle defines two main steps:
3.3
System Analysis
Table Design
System analysis
There are two parts of this section: analysing the current system and analysing the new
system.
21
3.3.1
The current system
3.3.1.1 Tasks
The current system is a manual system which helps to perform the following tasks:
Registration process: Persons are made to fill membership forms manually every
semester.
Sport Men and Women records: the records of all sports are kept in books are shelved
in the library.
Updates on sporting events for the school calendar are all pasted on the notice board.
Outcomes of Sporting activities are announced at the dining hall.
3.3.1.2 Problems faced

Some of the problems being faced in the current manual system are as follows:
Report Generation: Fast report generation is not possible.
Rodent chewing documents in the storage location
Duplication of data
Data inconsistency
22
3.3.2 The proposed system

The proposed computer- based system is intended to accomplish the above mentioned tasks
with the following added features;
Features
Secure data entry; the system has one entering point to the application (the log in screen) and
two entering points to the database, which through the application or form. For a user to
access the application the user need the right authentication. The authorized user who has
access is given certain task to perform. This task tells the application which processes to
initiate at a given time. An administrator who has universal right enforces rights to every
other user. His access right includes addition and removal of application users. Other users is
been made to have partial administrative rights, which exclude the right to add or remove
users.
The ability to accept all types of data entry for records; this includes numeric, alphabets and
alphanumeric data type. Numeric data entry lays emphasis on figures only. On the other hand,
alphabetical data entry accepts letters and other symbols. The combination of letters, symbols
and figures is known as alphanumeric data entry.
Restrictions: There are restrictions which prevents users form going into the platform
of other users. For instances, a student cannot enter the member of staff platform and
neither can a member of staff have access to the platform of a teacher or a student.
This would be done by means of entering a username and password before one can
gain access to the system.
23
Time Elapse: The system would be able to check the time one user entered the system
and when he or she exit.
User Friendly: The computer-based proposed system is user friendly. The user would
be able to use the system without any difficulty.
3.3.2.2 Benefits of the proposed system

The Proposed System provides the following benefits:
It provides "better and efficient" service to users.
It reduces the workload of employees (Admin staff, sports men and teacher).
Faster retrieval of information about any sports event, sports men and women and also
sports management member.
A facility with proper management reduces paper work and provides data security.
Updates of sports Events
Updates on sports men, women and sports management

3.4
Feasibility analysis
A system request must pass several tests to see whether it is worthwhile to proceed further. A
feasibility study uses four main yardsticks to measure a proposal: Operational Feasibility,
technical feasibility, economic feasibility and schedule feasibility.
3.4.1 Operational feasibility

Operational Feasibility means that a proposed system is been used effectively after its
development. If users have difficulty with a new system, it does not produce the expected
benefits. Operational feasibility depends on several vital issues which are listed below:
The proposed system is supported by the headmistress and Old Achimota Association
in order to help reduce the work load on the staff and student body of Achimota
School.
The proposed system causes no harm because it only help increase the efficiency of
the School.
The system is affordable and has low operational cost because it requires no special
equipment other than a normal computer.
The new system requires training of users. For which Achimota School and the O.A.A
would be prepared to sponsor workers for the training exercise.
25
3.4.2 Economic feasibility

Economic feasibility means that the project benefits of proposed system outweigh the
estimated cost usually considered the total cost of Ownership (TCO) which includes ongoing
system support and maintenance costs as well as acquisition cost. To determine TCO, we
estimate costs in each of the following areas:
The tools and technologies used for the system are free for non-commercial
development purposes. Most of them are licensed under Microsoft Corporation.
Most of the software and hardware components were provided by the school
especially lecturers in relation to the software.

In addition we assessed tangible and intangible benefits to the institution. Tangible
benefits are benefits that can be measured in monetary terms.

Intangible benefits are advantages that are difficult to measure in monetary terms but
are important to the company. For instance, a user friendly system that improves
employee job satisfaction is an intangible benefit.
3.4.3 Technical Feasibility

Technical feasibility involves determining whether or not a system can actually be
constructed to solve the problem at hand. The following points are considered for the
projects technical feasibility:
The required technologies (rule based and case based reasoning techniques,
programming languages and architecture) exist.
26
The proposed system provides adequate response to inquiries regardless of the

number or location of users. This is because the system is internal and the application
server is considerably sufficient to support the number of users.
Ease of access is guaranteed but the technical guarantees of accuracy and reliability
depend upon the data that is been collected.
3.4.4 Schedule Feasibility

Schedule Feasibility means that a project can be implemented in an acceptable time frame.
When assessing schedule feasibility, we consider the interaction between time and cost. The
project estimated period is presented in the table below:

3.5 Data Collection
The research involves a series of interviews targeted at Achimota School. The interview
approach was considered to provide the interviewee an opportunity to discuss issues that has
provided unique insights into the phenomenon of an electronic database system to help to
develop the School system.
3.6 Data Analysis
Data collected from the interview then analysed to determine the major issues at hand,
outlining the problems that need to be solved, and tailoring a system that will efficiently and
effectively fix those problems to meet the needs of the users.

3.8 Table design
My Structured Query Language was used in creating tables with their appropriate data type,
forms, queries and reports. The tables created with their entities are as follows;
3.8.1
3.8.2
3.8.3
3.8.3
Table best: sport, name, School name, age

Table tour: tour number, tournament, date, and venue
Table streg: serial number, name, School name, sport, date of birth, age, gender
Table registration: identity, username, and password
3.9 Keys and Relationships between the Tables

The picture below shows the relationship created among tables to link the various tables
together for easy query.
29
Fig 3.3: E.R diagram

Source: Design work(2014)
The best Table has the primary key sports ID and all other tables are linked with it through
the foreign key sports ID.
3.10 Project details
3.10.1 Structured Query Language
This Relational Database Management System (RDMS) was chosen in order to create an
On- The- Go Application that does not need network protocol such as TCP to establish
connections PostgreSQL.
This Structure Query Language helps you to store data safely and efficiently and allows easy
access to that data for viewing and modification.
The data with its base along with its associated data entry on the client machine therefore
issues such as network latency is avoided.
30
Since The DBMS is relational, the tables in the database have relations and indexes that
encourage quick searches and effective in section into the database. Access is very simple to
use and be used in many applications. For this, it can be used for both the front and backend
of the DBMS.
3.10.2 Computer hardware and software
Hardware
For the sports management system to function there is the need for the acquisition of the
hardware component.
Computers
Currently the School has only twenty computers that can be accessed by Sport Men and
Women, administration staff, lecturers and professors. Considering the number of student,
there is the need to acquire fifty (50) or more computers to see to the needs of the Sport Men
and Women. We have acquired more computers; the system has been installed on each of
them.
Backup Computers
There is a need for a backup to make duplicate of the contents of the hard disk just in case
there are unforeseen occurrences of accidents the backup can always be there for purpose.
A Printer
If there is the need for hard copies or print outs of information stored or typed in the system,
the printer will be to print the documents.
31
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
This is needed to supply a continuous supply of electricity or electric power when utility
power is not available to prevent data lost and also allows the computer to shut down
properly to prevent any unnecessary complications.
3.10.3 Software
Structured query language
SQL is an open source database management system that runs under windows and other
platforms. It was developed by Michael Widenius, and owned and sponsored by MySQL AB,
a Swedish based software company founded in 1995 .MySQL is now owned by Oracle
Corporation since 2010. The database server we used in this course is SQL
A database server enables users to process data stored in a database.
Without a database server, it is impossible to look at data in the database or to update or
delete obsolete data.
The database server alone knows where and how data is stored.
There are some third-party graphic user interfaces (GUIs) available as front ends to SQL, but
generally they are commercial products that must be purchased separately.
It is the responsibility of the database server to store data persistently in the database and to
maintain the integrity of the data.
32
Visual Basic. NET
Visual Basic (VB) is a widely used programming language developed by Microsoft and based
on earlier BASIC implementations such as QBasic/QuickBasic. Visual Basic like other
modern programming languages allows us to collect a data type and its associated operations
into a single entity called an object. It is thus called an object-oriented programming
language. On-OOP Languages, like C & COBOL, treat data and operations as separate parts
of the program.
Visual Basic.NET was chosen and used because of the short time frame associated with the
development of this project.
Aside this, it is easier to use and understand and does not run on the internet unlike the .NET
programming language.
CHAPTER FOUR
TESTING AND DEPLOYMENT
4.1 Introduction
This section tests the system that has been developed through the step by phase of the form
main page to exit page to the final phase depending on the phase where the user decides to
end. This system is to be used by the sports Department of the Achimota School.
33
4.2 Features of the system

4.2.1 Home screen
Fig 4.1 Home Screen

This is the very first screen on the system after a user has login with password and username.
It is made of five ribbons: master, games, level, logout and exit.
34
4.2.2 Login screen
Fig 4.2: Login Screen

The login screen grants the user of the system access into the system. There are two textboxes
as already seen; username and password. The user would be required to enter his username
and password into the appropriate text boxes. The login screen also has two buttons. A click
on the login button helps sign the user into the system provided he enters the required details
above, and the rest button reset the system.
35
4.2.3 Login registration form

The system has a login registration form as shown below:
Fig 4.3: Login registration Form

This form allows the administrator to register, update and delete username and passwords of
users.
4.2.4 Tournament detail form

This form is used to add, delete and update details of a tournament. It includes tournament,
date and venue.
Figure 4.4 below shows the diagram:
36
Fig 4.4: Tournament Detail form

4.2.5 Games and players form

This form is used to record games and players details. This is seen in the fig 4.5 below:
37
Fig 4.5: Games and players form

38
4.2.6 Install shield wizard form
Fig 4.6: Install shield wizard form

This is the first screen when you are installing the set up. The user can click on next to
continue or cancel the installation
39
Fig 4.7: installation wizard

This is the part of the installation where the end user accepts or do not accepts the terms in
the license agreement.

This is the last part of installation. The user clicks on first then installation is done.
CHAPTER FIVE
SUMMARY, RECOMMENDATION AND CONCLUSION
5.1 SUMMARY
The Sports Management System is an electronic system designed for the sport department of
Achimota School.
41
The system is a user friendly system which aims at reducing the stress and problems the
workers of school face in carrying out their day to day activities with the manual system
being used.
The sports management system does record management, registration of Sport Men, Women,
management, and sporting events in the Achimota School. For data collection, we
interviewed Sport Men and Women, Student of Achimota, teacher, Achimota Schools
perfects, house master or mistress, senior house mistress or master, assistant house master
East Compound, Assistant house master west, administrators, sports manager and some
Akora( Old student) of Achimota School. The system was designed using Visual Studio for
the interface and MySQL for the back end.
In designing this system, we faced certain challenges. Some of which was the short time
allocated for carrying out the project and the difficulty in accessing the internet connectivity
on campus which impeded our research ability to an extent.
5.2 RECOMMENDATION
We suggest that the time frame provided for a project like the sports management system
should be extended. This would allow the student to give out their best and yield the best of
results
In addition with research methods, a special lecture or workshop should be arranged to
broaden the understanding of project work and what it entails.
42
Currently, there are twenty computers at Achimota School. There is the need therefore to
acquire more computers to see to the needs of Sport Men and Women and staff that use the
sports management system for their various research and projects.
5.3 CONCLUSION
The sport management system goes a long way to solve the problems of the manual system.
When this system was being designed or developed, the problems faced by users concerning
the existing system and all the problems as at the time were taken into consideration.
The system is designed in such a way that it can take large amount of data hence if the users
population increases, the system still functions efficiently and effectively
