The aim of this study is to determine the degree of applying risk management behaviors among managers and directors of sports councils in Khorasan province which is located in the east of Iran. The method was descriptive-analytic, and conducted on all the managers and directors of sports councils. The samples was included 126 managers and directors of sports councils in Khorasan who had been working in the East area (Khorasan). The questionnaire (risk management, Aeron. 2004) was used and Cronbach Alpha was .87 which was satisfactory. Descriptive and inferential statistics (Kruskal Wallis H, Kendall & Pearson), have been used in data analysis. The findings of the research showed that there isn’t any meaningful relationship between levels of education, the employment status, coaching status and risk management behaviors, while there was meaningful relationship between field of education)p? 0.006), coaching experience(p?0.033, r=0.185), managing experience(p?0.001, r= 0.260) and risk management behaviors. As a whole we can say that the level of performance of risk management behaviors among the sports councils in Kuhorsan province has a desirable condition. It was also found that staff directors performed risk management behaviors better than line directors.

In this research it is shown that sport directors of Khorasan got 4 out of 5 according to A5-Point Likert Scale, which means they tried risk management strategies most of the time

There have always been risks around sport and athletics as other social phenomena which can cause problems to the whole society. Destroying and damaging the sport complexes and places has to do with the very basic social factors such as economic, politics and culture. Nowadays there are a lot of arguments on this subject around the world, and scientists are seriously making research to find and introduce new techniques making athletic atmosphere safer and controllable than ever for reducing, transferring and eliminating risks (Dusti, 2009).
