Sports law is framed and the structures and actors in the sport and exercise sector, the sources of sports law and dispute resolution are explained. Then attention is paid to the legal framework and dispute resolution of transgressive behavior, the status of the athlete and the various actors in sport, the fight against doping and the basic principles of liability in the sport and exercise sector. The topic of transgressive behavior is further explained in function of the creation of a safe and healthy sport climate. Insights are given into ethical aspects within supervision (school, club, private organizations), management (good governance, code of ethics) and policy (Flemish and international) so that students can identify problems and explain correct procedures in terms of prevention and reaction policies to avoid problems when they occur.
The study material is made available through the Canvas learning platform and includes the presentations of the lectures, chapters from textbooks, scientific and practical articles and video material.

Rather than trying to turn the students into sports lawyers, the aim in the course is to place sports law and also sports in general into a broader factual and legal framework. Law does not end at the stadium gates. Most of the problems in sports did not originate from the experience of sports, but from its exploit. From practice, it is attempted to sketch the rights and duties of the actors involved.
For students who are not immediately familiar with law, a few difficult points are discussed, in active cooperation, from a strictly personal approach, from the actual every-day experiences as a lawyer.
The formulated musings and reflections are not limited to a strictly legal view and relate to other courses. The aim is to create a forum for publicly voicing opinions and sharpening the critical sense for the actual problems in the world of sports.
After having taken the course, the student has to be able to form a personal opinion on the evolution of sports in general and sports law in particular.
