The study is to design a multilevel model for managerial factors affecting the sports clubs of the players in the Premier Basketball League. The research method was mixed (qualitative-quantitative). 142 basketball players in 13 Premier League teams along with their technical staff and 19 basketball experts were selected as samples to identify the management factors affecting basketball clubs and present the ISM model. The desired factors were identified by meta-combination method and the relationship between them were determined using structural-interpretive modeling. The data analysis was performed using exploratory factor analysis and Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM) by MICMAC method.The results showed that the factors affecting the player-rearing clubs include 35 elements and 7 general components which explain 62% of the variance of factors affecting the player-rearing clubs. According to MICMAC structural analysis, the club's desire for rearing player and its ability to attract more capital have been influenced by other factors and they are influenced and dependent elements from a systemic point of view. The factors of club branding and environmental interaction are in the category of independent variables that are of low influence and dependency. Government strategies, infrastructures and equipment are key barriers for player-rearing clubs with high influence and low dependency. Based on the results, the seven components that can enhance the success of the club by emphasizing the process of identifying, talenting and training players, in a systemic approach, form a system in which components affect and support each other.
