Abstract:

Sport is an important economic sector and plays a great role in national economies. Moreover, sport can play an important role in solving the range of serious social problems, such as the absence of physical activity, steady development and the gaps in education. It should be noted that in Russia the existing mechanisms of physical culture and sport control, possessing several advantages, also have serious drawbacks, which restrict their effectiveness. In these terms there is a constant search for scientific-theoretical models of effective control over this sphere. In our opinion, the most prospective instrument of authority, sports organizations, federations and population integration into the considered sphere can become a cluster approach. Materials. Information about the activity of European territorial sports clusters for the present research work organization was received from the official sites of the studied European sports cluster associations.

Keywords: physical culture and sport, sports cluster, the aim and objectives of creation, participants, projects.
