Abstract

In this work, we evaluated how parents influence and participate in the sporting life of their children, children/young people during the initiation of soccer. The investigation took place in two aspects of the sport; such as social inclusion and sports initiation school. Identifying how the physical education professional mediates with possible conflicts, understanding how the child/young person perceives the influence of their parents in their practice within the sport and how these interactions influence the participants. The study is of a qualitative nature, where we discuss the effectiveness of personal interactions and the intervening aspects of the family in relation to the child and young person, in the practice of football and the possible relationship between sport and social education for them. The study included field research, using semi-structured interviews as an instrument for data collection and observation. It was applied to children and young people of both sexes, enrolled in schools specialized in teaching football and enrolled in a social project, aged between 08 and 21 years, all in the city of Fortaleza-CE. The data analyze, from the point of view of children and young people, how parents participate during training in soccer initiation; their acceptance of the presence of their parents in training; the positive and negative effects of this participation. Sports initiation is a beneficial influence on the child's evolution, but inappropriate parental behavior can bring harm when not specifically observed or respected the evolutionary moment of children/young people, which can lead to risks throughout their lives.
