抄録

The purpose of this study is to examine parental expectations at the Junior Sports School of the Nagoya Grampus Eight (Grampus Junior Class) and the Junior Sports Clubs (Shonendan). The formation process and structure of the organizations are different in the Grampus Youth and Meiwa Junior-Sports Clubs. From this viewpoint this study pays attention to a comparison of the different organizations. The Grampus Junior Class substructure regards sports schools as a part of enterprise. Also, Grampus has provided a service of high quality for club members to obtain profit. On the other hand, Meiwa Junior Sports Clubs are a voluntary organization. An organization system isn't established and it has been supported by earnest leaders. The data were obtained through questionnaires distributed to 642 parents (336 from Meiwa Junior Sports Clubs, and 306 from Grampus Youth). The main results are as follows: 1) In the case of Grampus Youth, it is an intelligence network of shared territorial bonding. In the case of Meiwa Junior Sports Clubs, the network is based on family relations. 2) Grampus' parents had expectations about the value that is inherent in exercise itself. 3) Compared to the Meiwa Junior Sport Club, Grampus' parents have more expectation of their children's technical improvement in sports. 4) Most parents gave negative responses in regard to expectations of providing a future in sports or study. 5) Parents of the Grampus Junior Class and Meiwa Junior Sports Clubs did not expect the sports schools to provide an external society. 5) Meiwa Junior Sports Clubs want to get understanding from parents by guiding the social development of their children at sports school.
