Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is to report the findings of a study that explored the nexus between sport and social capital in Oceania. Specifically, it explored the social networks that are created through sport, and the resources that are available to members through these networks. The results show that some organized sport clubs in Oceania are sites for significant social capital development, whereby club members receive resources such as employment, accommodation, food and transportation, as well as financial incentives. In particular, it is evident that club members are able to access employment opportunities that their level of education would not normally make possible.
