Outline of Final Research Achievements

Children’s community sports require the assistance of parents, such as in overseeing practice and in transportation to and from game venues; this implies that parents are deeply involved with the teams. Parents have both positive and negative experiences with respect to their children's sports. The present study aimed to develop a model of sport-harassment, which includes parents of the team as an important factor.
In the first year, we conducted a literature review and qualitative research (interviews) on parents and coaches in order to develop a model. In the second year, we conducted an online survey among parents and that among coaches, in order to examine the models. In the final year, we got information about community sports in the US where community sports are more popular, by talking with some coaches and inspecting some teams. At the same time, we made a lecture video for parents and volunteer coaches, respectively, which everyone can see on the web.
